The East of England Lung Cancer Screening Programme

To support our Lung Cancer Screening Programme and the need for information by members of the public taking part in this programme as it is rolled out across the East of England, we have created a regional website. Please access this here.  

Around a quarter to a third of people affected by cancer are also parenting dependent children, yet parental responsibilities are often overlooked in routine cancer care. This comprehensive resource is designed to build confidence and skills among healthcare professionals when supporting patients in their roles as parents, including during treatment.

It offers clear, evidence-based guidance on talking to children about cancer, understanding how children of different ages may be affected, and supporting families through treatment.
