If youβre offered a Lung Health Check screening appointment by your GP practice, PLEASE accept. One of our trained nurses will give you a ring to take you through it and talk to you about having a simple scan if needed. It only takes a few minutes, but could save your life.
Spotting cancer early increases the chance of survival.
For example 9 in 10 patients diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer survive for 1 year after diagnosis, whilst less than 1 in 4 patients diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer survive 1 year after diagnosis.

A strong statistic to emphasise why Targeted Lung Health Checks are so important. Please respond if you receive a text, phone call or letter from your GP practice inviting you for a check. Scans start in Bradford today. @NHSBfdCraven @ActAsOneBDC

@British_Airways, you can do better than this. Used to be the UK airline of choice, how has this changed so much for the worse? Sister and family stranded in Italy. No assistance and no compensation for the flights she had to book to get home (Β£1400). Whereβs the βfull serviceβ?
@British_Airways Very disappointing response from Customer Relations. Flight delayed and then finally cancelled. Told to make own way home. No alternative offered. Now been told no compensation or refund available! Terrible.

I'm an ICU doctor and am fully vaccinated and would encourage all to do the same.
I also don't run a "breathlessness clinic" at a minimum of Β£500 a pop, so don't have any untoward interest in there being a load more breathless people...

The only part of this article I disagree with is "I'm a respiratory doctor" (because I'm not)
The worst part of the job lately is seeing people begging for a vaccination as they struggle to breathe on ICU, and having to tell them it's too late.
