Lung Cancer Screening Programme being rolled out in 2026

Lung Cancer Screening (formerly known as Targeted Lung Health Checks) is a screening programme for people aged between 55 and 74 who have ever smoked.

They are currently offered in parts of England where there is a high incidence of smoking and lung cancer but will roll out to the whole of the country by 2029.

In Cheshire and Merseyside, they are being offered in Wirral, Warrington, Liverpool, Halton, Knowsley, St Helens and South Sefton. They will roll out to North Sefton and the rest of Cheshire in 2026.

You can watch a video which explains what they are - with BSL - here.
