There is an urgent clinic for suspected lung cancer and TB patients, who are seen as quickly as possible. Patients seen by a consultant or senior doctor and after initial assessment a CT scan may be requested. Non-urgent cases are seen and prioritised as per referrals and chest x-rays.
All new patients should have a GP requested chest x-ray before referral, so that they can be prioritised and seen accordingly.
