Help Us Help You – Lung Cancer

17th February 2021

Today, NHS England and NHS Improvement, together with Public Health England, launched the ‘Help Us, Help You’ lung cancer campaign.

The campaign highlights that a cough for three weeks or more that isn’t COVID-19 could be a sign of lung cancer and encourages anyone with this symptom to contact their GP practice. While a cough for three weeks or more is probably nothing serious, it could be a sign of something that needs treatment. If it is cancer, finding it early makes it more treatable and can save lives.

Famous faces, including Sir Andrew Strauss and Gaby Roslin, along with members of the public who have first-hand experience of how lung cancer can affect you, your friends and your family, are supporting the campaign in a powerful video. The video urges people to contact their GP practice if they’ve had a cough for over three weeks and don’t have COVID-19. It also encourages friends and family to support a loved one if they are concerned for their health.

Your NHS is here to see you, safely. Help Us, Help You.
