Information Support-Admin. Officer - Targeted Lung Health Check

Oxford University Hospitals Foundation Trust is looking for enthusiastic and diligent staff to support delivery of its new Oxfordshire Targeted Lung Health Check (TLHC) service.

A network of locally delivered TLHC services is being set up nationally to tackle lung cancer and health inequality. Lung Cancer typically presents late but can be detected at an early stage using a low dose CT scan. It is closely associated with smoking, and smoking prevalence is generally higher in economically challenged areas. Everyone registered with an Oxfordshire GP who is between the age of 55 and 74 with a smoking history will be invited to have a lung health check. Our target is to avoid 500 lung cancer deaths in Oxfordshire within the next few years.
