The introduction of the UK's Vaping Products Duty reflects growing concern about youth vaping and nicotine uptake. The GLCC believes more research is needed to better understand the long-term impact of vaping and supports evidence-based measures to protect future generations. #LungHealth

That’s a wrap on the GLCC Members’ Meeting. Our shared workplan for the next 12 months is now agreed, and we’ll be posting updates here — and on our new website coming soon. Grateful to everyone who strengthens this global #lungcancer advocacy network. See you at #WCLC26 and in Denver next year.

At our Annual Meeting in Seoul, Karen Clayton of Lung Cancer Nursing UK spoke to the role of lung cancer nurse specialists. They provide more than clinical care, supporting patients and carers emotionally, psychologically and practically. #LungCancer #CancerCare #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareEquity

More than 10,000 lung cancers have been detected through the NHS Lung Cancer Screening Programme — with most found early, when treatment is more likely to be successful. Mobile scanning trucks are helping bring checks closer to communities. ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2026/05/supe...
