NHS Campaign
We are proud to have been commissioned by NHS England to develop an awareness campaign to increase uptake for the targeted lung health checks.
As part of a two-phased approach, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation has developed a series of assets for all programmes to utilise. Phase one of the campaign is now live and aims to:
- highlight the importance of early detection
- demonstrate the asymptomatic nature of early-stage disease
- provide accessible information about lung cancer and the lung health checks, and
- prime eligible participant to respond when invited.

Catching lung cancer early can make all the difference.
That’s why the NHS is offering people aged 55-74 who have ever smoked a lung check to make sure everything is ok.
“I felt fine. I didn’t have a cough. I wasn’t getting short of breath, but because I smoked, I thought it was worth checking everything was ok…. and I’m so glad I did.”
If you’re invited for a lung health check, it’s really important to make an appointment – even if you feel well.

Gordon went for his lung health check even though he didn’t have any symptoms and hadn’t smoked for over 10 years. He thought it was win win either way: if everything was fine – great! If it wasn’t then he’d have the chance to do something about it.
If you’re 55-74 and have ever smoked, you will be invited for a lung health check to make sure everything is ok. You should attend the appointment even if you feel fine, just like Gordon.
“I was told there are four stages of lung cancer. I was stage one and the earliest stage of stage one.
It was such a relief.”

“I’m very well aware having smoked on and off all my life, it’s important to make sure your lungs are ok. I’ve always been for bowel and breast checks so I just saw the lung health check as another check up.”
