‘Lung Health Lunch’ meeting

Online

The South West Cancer Alliances and South West Respiratory Network would like to invite community pharmacy teams to our ‘Lung Health Lunch’ on Thursday 1st April at 12.30-1.30.

In parallel to the National ‘Help us to Help you’ lung cancer campaign, the South West Cancer Alliances are running a range of initiatives to raise awareness of lung cancer risk and support people to seek help from their GP.

In this webinar we will highlight the ongoing problem of reduced lung cancer referrals and potentially missed curative diagnosis during the Covid-19 pandemic.  The webinar will raise your awareness, support you to proactively look for lung cancer symptoms and offer you advice on how to guide patients to discuss their concerns with their GP.

The speakers are;

Dr Henry Steer, Consultant Respiratory Physician and Lung Cancer Lead at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Dr Cyrus Daneshvar, Consultant in Respiratory Medicine at University Hospitals Plymouth

Dr Steve Holmes, Clinical Respiratory Lead, Somerset CCG
