#Lungcancer carries a stigma that can delay diagnosis & negatively impact care quality for pts—regardless of their smoking history. Let's raise awareness/reduce stigma to promote timely medical consultations & improve outcomes for those affected by lung cancer! #LCAM24#LCSM
Last night we celebrated our successes with @LungHealthCheck, the lives our team have changed in 6 years and the relationships and friendships we have built. HUGE thanks to @yorkshirecancer for believing in us and making it all possible. Excited for the next chapter…coming soon!

🚭 Nearly 700 people in Yorkshire quit smoking last year thanks to services funded by the charity.
We are dedicated to tackling Yorkshire’s biggest cause of cancer-related death, but we can’t do it alone.
#NoSmokingDay
A exciting day for our @yorkshirecancer@YESSstudy study as we start up in our new home! Still the same amazing team doing their amazing thing though ❤️
The final intervention, including a personalised booklet (with scan images of the participants lungs and heart) is delivered in conjunction with a personalised risk information by a trained smoking cessation practitioner. We are currently trialling it in the @YESSstudy.
