Unlocking Early Lung Cancer Detection with Florence

July 9, 2025

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) Protocol is now available in Florence, helping healthcare professionals quickly assess whether patients meet the eligibility criteria for life-saving CT-scans. 

Built with simplicity in mind, this new protocol ensures all the necessary eligibility questions are asked and documented so you have all the information available to confirm that your patient is eligible for lung screening. This automated protocol simplifies the screening process, allowing you to focus more on patient care and less on paperwork.

Lung cancer is Australia’s biggest cancer killer – but early detection changes everything. Florence makes it easy to be part of the solution.
