COBELT Co-Design Study - University of St Andrews, Fife

I hope you might be interested in taking part in a project that is relative to the work carried out by the British Fanciers Medical Research Team.

The St Andrews University team are looking for people aged over 55 who smoke or have ever smoked in the past to to talk to them about a future lung screening programme.

Would you take a test that could help find lung cancer early?

What would stop you from taking the test or what would help?

The team are asking if you can spare 30 minutes of your time to have a quick chat with us over the phone or online, whichever suits you best. They understand your time and input is valuable and want to let you know that you will receive a £30 voucher by way of thanks.

Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer in teh UK. Finding the cancer early can improve the outcome, especially as treatments are improving. This blood test could help find lung cancer early. For this to work the team must ensure it reaches those who will benefit most and the team need your help to do this.

Pigeon fanciers include many who fall into the age range the team are interested in talking to and I hope you might be able be a part of this really exciting new peroject. If you can, please contact the team via Lynsey Brown direct by e.mail at cobelt@st-andrews.ac.uk

Alternatively, ring SHU Office 01698 768939 and I will arrange to pass on your details to the team on your behalf.

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

Mrs Linda Brooks

Scottish Homing Union Secretary

It would really be worth while for those of you willing to take part - I certainly would (but in England so don't think I would be eligible) My sister died at the age of 55 from lung cancer - there are so many cancers that only get diagnosed at a late stage because there are no obvious symptoms
