We're delighted that the UK National Screening Committee has recommended a nationwide lung cancer screening programme. This is fantastic news which hopefully lead to many thousands of patients surviving lung cancer through earlier diagnosis and treatment.

@Telegraph, four days after Charles Moore blames the lockdown on the NHS’s inflexibility, you send this out - 6 months free subscription for NHS workers. #thanksbutnothanks.

Whilst advances in systemic treatment of advanced lung cancer have no doubt helped, surely there needs to be some mention of smoking cessation here - both as a likely larger contributor to this fall in mortality, and as a continuing strategy for driving it even lower?

[IASLC @IASLC]

U.S. cancer death rate sees its largest single-year drop – driven by precision medicine and #immunotherapy in lung cancer. Thank you members for helping develop these advances! @CBelaniMD, IASLC's CSO, has issued the following response to the news. #LCSM https://t.co/yPasbApBQm

@muirgray @felly500 @drlaurajane @angelaraffle Agree this should be mandatory reading for anyone involved with screening. It’s a fantastic book.

[Mat Callister @CallisterMat]

@muirgray @felly500 @drlaurajane @angelaraffle This book was quoted several times in the Screening Practitioner track running parallel to the debates at #BTOGLCscreening, including 1st line of Preface “All screening programmes do harm etc.” and lifestyle advice from Horace Dobell in 1861 (beer, cheese, flannel clothing - p2).

[Mat Callister @CallisterMat]

@drsonyacressman Thanks. @IASLC - how about this as a radical solution to getting the tobacco cessation message more widely heard. No CME credits for any WCLC attendee unless they attend one tobacco control session. Wouldn’t be popular but nothing else is getting bums on seats. #WCLC2019

[Mat Callister @CallisterMat]

Disappointing that the room is so empty at #WCLC2019 to see an inspiring talk from IASLC-award winning Emily Stone about Tobacco Control. Surely this is the most pressing issue at this conference.

[Mat Callister @CallisterMat]

This is a fantastic result for an amazing team. They are delivering a groundbreaking study which is already shaping national policy in co-delivering Lung Cancer Screening and Smoking Cessation. Hopefully more exciting results to come in due course.... @yorkshirecancer

[Yorkshire Enhanced Stop Smoking Study @YESSstudy]

Our @yorkshirecancer @YESSstudy and @LungHealthCheck research study teams only went and won at the Time to Shine award!! Well done everyone, very well deserved!

[Mat Callister @CallisterMat]

This is an amazing achievement for both the YLST and YESS teams. They’re a fantastic group of dedicated professionals making a huge difference to outcomes for patients in Leeds. Thanks to @yorkshirecancer for making the whole thing possible. @YESSstudy @LeedsHospitals

#LTHTawards We won @yorkshirecancer @LeedsHospitals

[Mat Callister @CallisterMat]

This is a fantastic achievement for the whole team involved with delivering this study.

[Leeds Lung Health Check @LungHealthCheck]

We have completed our 1000th lung health check today! @roundhaypark @yorkshirecancer @UniversityLeeds @YESSstudy @DrPhilCrosbie @richarddneal @LeedsHospitals @NHSEngland @lthtresearch @

[Mat Callister @CallisterMat]

This is fantastic. Can we have this outside all @LeedsHospitals buildings please? @yvetteoade1 @LTHTRespiratory @LungHealthCheck

[Richard Hansen @PaedsRH]

LOVE this sign at @SheffChildrens.
More of this please in UK kids hospitals.

[Leeds Lung Health Check @LungHealthCheck]

All set up and ready for the next round of @LungHealthCheck at @asda Middleton. Nearly 300 people booked in for the next fortnight - our busiest round yet. @yorkshirecancer @YESSstudy @nhsleeds @LeedsHospitals

[Leeds Lung Health Check @LungHealthCheck]

Also great to see increased smoking cessation in the #NHS10yearplan. @LungHealthCheck is the first to co-locate smoking cessation and #LungCancerScreening in a community setting. Over 90% of smokers agreed to see our SCPs last month as part of the @YESSstudy. @yorkshirecancer

[Leeds Lung Health Check @LungHealthCheck]

#NHS10yearplan also focusing on early diagnosis of COPD. Since Nov, 62 people found to possibly have undiagnosed COPD at their @LungHealthCheck and referred to the Community Respiratory Team - that's about 1 in 5 of all participants. @LeedsHospitals @LCHNHSTrust @yorkshirecancer
