What is the Healthy Lung Programme about?
Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group is working with communities across Liverpool so that local residents have the opportunity to improve their lung health and so that we are able to help diagnose lung conditions early.
The Healthy Lung programme began in 2016 and will run until 2020 visiting every neighbourhood in the city.
Find out when your GP Practice will be holding Lung Health clinics here.
People aged 58-75 years old who have a history of smoking, or are in this age group and have COPD will be invited to attend a lung health clinic at their GP surgery or a local health centre. After this appointment, if needed, patients will be offered a Chest CT Scan at a local hospital.
