We are pleased to announce the publication of the Lung Health Check Operational Pilot for Wales (Evaluation Report 2). 

The award-winning Lung Health Check pilot (2023-2024) was delivered by Cwm Taf Morgannwg (CTM) University Health Board, with the support of the National Strategic Clinical Network for Cancer.  

Evaluation 2 complements Evaluation 1, which was published in September 2024. Evaluation 2 covers: 

  • The remaining clinical activity of the operational pilot and final screening results; 

  • Integration of smoking cessation pathways; 

  • Participants’ and health care professionals’ experience of the pilot. 

The report concluded that the successfully delivered Lung Health Check Pilot will inform any future roll-out of a lung screening programme in Wales. It also concluded that the pilot had: 

  • Provided immediate health benefits to the participants; 

  • Lung cancer screening can be delivered effectively within the Welsh healthcare system; 

  • A lung cancer screening programme would significantly improve lung cancer outcomes.
