Healthwatch Thurrock were delighted to join the NELFT Lung Health Checks team at Asda, Tilbury on Monday 19th April to visit the new Cobalt Imaging lung check screening units.
“I was so impressed with the setup of the Tilbury lung check facility, the location of the unit is so easily accessible to residents – even for those travelling by bus! We’re strongly encouraging anyone that receives an invite for their lung health check to please attend – it’s so important.“
— Kim James, Chief Operating Officer of Healthwatch Thurrock
Anyone who has had a virtual lung health check and meets the criteria will be invited for a low dose CT scan.
These Lung Health Checks enable people who are at a higher risk of lung conditions to be tested using diagnostic imaging for lung cancer and other respiratory conditions at a much earlier and more treatable stage.
