NHS Targeted Lung Health Checks

Welcome to the Lung Health Check site for Humber and North Yorkshire, here you’ll find everything you need to know about Lung Health checks in your area.

Select your location

People in Humber and North Yorkshire aged between 55 and 74, who smoke or used to smoke, and are registered with a local GP, could be eligible for a free NHS Targeted Lung Health Check. This is because research shows these people are most at risk of developing lung problems, including lung cancer.

Lung Health Checks can reassure you that your lungs are healthy or help find problems early when treatment could be simpler and more successful.
