Giant Inflatable Lungs!! Posted or Updated on 16 Oct 2024

A giant pair of lungs are coming to Basildon to raise awareness of lung health and the importance of lung health checks for detecting serious illnesses.

The inflatable lungs will be at Eastgate Shopping Centre Basildon on 22 October from 10am- 4pm. 

Visitors can get up close to explore the giant lungs and learn more about how they work. They can also find out more about how our lungs are affected by various diseases such as lung cancer and COPD.

Health professionals will be on hand to talk to visitors about lung health and provide information about the Targeted Lung Health Checks programme. These free NHS check-ups are for smokers and ex-smokers aged 55-74 who are at increased risk of developing lung cancer.
