Clinics are taking place in a phased approach by GP practice (see our FAQs for more info). If eligible for a Lung Health Check, you’ll receive a letter from your GP inviting you to make an appointment, simply call the telephone number on your letter to book. Please do not turn up at the mobile unit without an appointment as we will be unable to see you.
