Reducing lung cancer Inequalities for people with severe mental illness: What should Primary Care do next?

People living with severe mental illness (SMI) experience significant inequalities in lung cancer outcomes, yet primary care has a pivotal role in reducing these disparities. This webinar will explore the evidence behind lung cancer inequalities for people with SMI and discuss emerging recommendations from King's Health Partners. Through presentations and panel discussion, we will consider practical actions primary care can take to support earlier diagnosis, equitable access to care and improve lung cancer outcomes for SMI patients across South East London.
