207 Exploring the experiences of rural and coastal people with lung cancer and their informal carers' in accessing and engaging in treatment: A qualitative interview study

There is evidence to suggest that rural people with lung cancer may experience unique inequalities in care compared to their urban counterparts. Lincolnshire has some of the most deprived parts of the UK, particularly in rural and coastal areas, where people face considerable barriers to engaging with, and accessing cancer care.
