The NHS is offering free lung health checks to smokers and ex-smokers aged 55-74 who are registered with our PCN.

🟢Timperley Health Centre (Westwood) WA15 6PH
🟢 Shay Lane Medical Centre (Patel) WA15 8NZ
🟢 Barrington Medical Centre WA14 1PF
🟢 Family Surgery WA14 1LL
🟢 Village Surgery WA15 6PH
🟢 Riddings Family Health Centre WA15 6BP

Look out for an invite in the post or via text message.

The checks are quick, free and they could ultimately save your life by finding lung cancer at an early stage, before you may have symptoms.

Most visitors to the lung health checks will get reassurance that everything is OK.
People who are invited for a lung health check will firstly talk to specialist nurse where you will answer some health and lifestyle questions, which will determine whether you are ‘high’ or ‘low’ risk. If you are deemed high risk, you will then be offered a low-dose computed tomography (CT) scan of your lungs, on the same day, on board the truck. This is to identify if there are any changes to your lungs which need further investigation or treatment.

If you have already received your invitation but missed your appointment, please contact the bookings team on 0161 529 0900.

Did you know your GP can prescribe more than just medication?

At our practices, we're proud to recommend Social Prescribing, a fantastic way to support your health and wellbeing by connecting you with activities and communities right on your doorstep.

Think yoga, walking groups, gardening, cooking classes, singing, crafts, and so much more.

Social prescribing can help you:
✅ Feel less lonely and more connected
✅ Improve your mental wellbeing
✅ Make positive lifestyle changes
✅ Live more independently
✅ Access advice on finances, volunteering & local services

Ask one of our team about a social prescribing referral at your next appointment or you can self-refer directly.
