LUMEN - Lung Cancer Symptom Assessment Line

People concerned about lung cancer symptoms can now access the Lung Cancer Symptom Assessment Line (LUMEN), providing an access point for people to speak with a specialist nurse to discuss their symptoms and be referred for a chest X-Ray, if needed, to investigate their symptoms.

The service which is funded by Moondance Cancer Initiative is open to people registered with a GP practice in Hywel Dda UHB area to address their concerns about possible Lung Cancer symptoms and learn more about the LUMEN Service and how it can help.
