NHS urges people to have vital lung cancer checks to help save lives

NHS bosses are calling on people to have vital lung cancer check-ups to help save lives.

A recent trial of mobile testing operations identified cancer in hundreds of people with early signs of lung cancer, enabling treatment to be given.

However official figures show that around two-thirds of people are not accepting the invitations to screenings.

Urging people to get checks ? Ironic as they haven’t been seeing people for 2 years and doctors refuse face to face appointments, ironic!

This man should sue that GP. That's the only option left to stop them refusing scans.

That’s terrible he’s a paramedic he wouldn’t keep phoning if he didn’t think there was nothing up

GP? What a joke. I had my CT scanning after 6 years suffering and begging for it. Because, we have a best medical care in the world 😂😂😂😂

The same NHS that refused treatment to many many OAPs

[peteralex]

What does one say. The majority of the UK population still believe the lies, this is ur karma. I have no sympathy whatsoever

In contrast access to tests is often severely restricted for GPs, with ever tightening rules as to which senarios or duration of symptoms are required before tests can be requested. At point patients have definitive symptoms to meet criteria for urgent 2-week suspected cancer referrals, often cancers well advanced.

Hurry get on the socialized health care wait list.

[TomNook.]

Such double speak, the NHS wants us to have checks, but the NHS doctor won't refer him for a check.

People need to stand and why pay tax and n.i for this crap government NHS and police force

[coolcat]

They’ve had plenty of time and resources for the relentless letters texts and phone calls to get the mRNA technology, too busy checking that the population is up to date with the tech and boosted accordingly!

[coolcat]

Haha they’ve put the NI tax up as well! This NHS is turning out to be a bit of a monster, ending good people before their time and prolonging the death of elderly people with pharma until they’ve wasted away and sat in a nappy with a little cup FULL with all sorts of pharma! Yet turn away younger people who need tests etc!
