Additional tests undertaken alongside the CT scan may add value to the lung cancer screening program being rolled out. This study aims to explore the feasibility and utility of a lung cancer screening program with added heart and breathing tests within a single clinic visit. A Lung Health Check will be offered to people at higher risk of lung cancer, specifically those aged 55-74 with a history of cigarette smoking. This will include a quick and painless LDCT scan, which uses a small amount of radiation to create detailed images of the lungs to detect lung cancer at an early
