We continue to promote our LungAware tool over lung cancer awareness month and the winter period.
What does the tool do?
LungAware is a simple “decision tree” style tool. Users answer several straightforward questions, which ask about their age, smoking status, lung symptoms and the area of Greater Manchester in which they live.
Once this information is submitted, the tool will provide advice on next steps.
The tool has been designed by lung cancer clinicians in Greater Manchester to provide good quality, evidence-based advice in line with NICE guidance, to people who may be concerned about their symptoms, but reluctant to see seek medical advice (for a range of reasons). The tool should either reassure or encourage them to seek further healthcare advice.
