It is more likely a scam. Consultants have to abide by patient confidentiality rules the same as your GP or any other NHS staff. You can always check by finding their "real" number and give them a call, do not use a number from that email.

I had the same email but didn't think it was aimed at me 'personally'. I thought it was an appeal or invitation to anyone who had had lung cancer to take part in (I think it was) a research program. Reasonable expenses were to be refunded so I suppose if account details were required for refunds to be made, it could have been a scam but I got the impression that it was a genuine request for survivors of lung cancer to take part in a study. Didn't apply to me so it was deleted.
