The Taskforce for Lung Health is a group of organisations and people with an interest in lung health, including lung cancer. We’re working together on a 5-year plan for improving the nation’s lung health.

Lung disease is one of the top 3 killers, with the number of people dying from lung disease in the UK failing to improve over the past decade. Despite this, there is currently no plan in place to improve lung health or the care and services people receive.

We’ve opened a call for evidence, to identify what needs to change in how we prevent, diagnose and treat lung disease. If you have, or care for someone with, a lung condition then your experience is evidence, and can help us understand these things. This evidence is really important if the 5-year plan to improve lung health is going to work.

You can tell us your experiences at the following link. This will be open until Friday, April 27th: blf.org.uk/taskforce/eviden...
