Description
The post holder will be a Registered Nurse with a respiratory knowledge.

The aim is to improve patient care by gaining a greater insight into lung cancer and its causes and to improve early detection of lung cancer by defining optimal screening strategies, tailored on population, participant, lung nodule and other important risk factors.

The post holder will be responsible for completing lung health checks and risk assessments and identify the right pathway for those identified through the screening for further diagnostic tests and management.


The lung health check programme will enable the early detection of lung cancer in order to save lives by early intervention and will produce a dataset which will be utilised to improve the identification and outcome of individuals with a high risk of developing lung cancer. In particular personal and lifestyle data used to generate lung cancer risk scores and clinical data relating to lung cancer diagnosis will contribute to a greater understanding of early detection methodology, improving future implementation.
