Consent and your information

Taking part is your choice

Registering your interest does not commit you to anything. You decide whether to go ahead at each step: after our first conversation, before signing a consent form and before the shoot itself. You do not have to give a reason if you decide not to take part.

What you will be asked to agree to

If you are selected, we will send you a consent form to read and sign before the shoot. It will cover:

• being photographed by Rankin and his team
• being filmed for campaign videos to be confirmed
• using your first name, age, symptoms and diagnosis alongside your photograph
• how long the campaign materials may be used for period to be confirmed

We will talk the form through with you, and you are welcome to share it with family or your clinical team before signing.

Your chest X-ray

In the 2021 campaign, each person was photographed holding their own chest X-ray. We are still confirming whether the 2027 shoot will feature X-rays. If it does, we will explain exactly what is involved and ask for your separate permission before any medical image is requested or shared.

Where your photograph may appear

The campaign is aimed at healthcare professionals. Your photograph and story may be used in:

• adverts on websites and in journals read by GPs, nurses and pharmacists
• posters for GP surgeries, pharmacies and hospitals
• the See Through The Symptoms and All You Need Is Lungs websites
• the social media channels of the three charities
• press coverage, conference presentations and campaign reports

Once an image is published online or in print, others may share it. We will never sell your image or use it to promote a commercial product.

Your personal information

The details you give when you register are used only to contact you about the 2027 campaign. They are held securely by the campaign's three charities and are not shared with anyone else without your permission.

If you are not selected, we will delete your details timescale to be confirmed unless you ask us to keep you informed about future opportunities. You can ask to see, correct or delete your information at any time. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.

Changing your mind

You can withdraw at any point before the shoot, and your registration details will be deleted. After the campaign launches, you can still ask us to stop using your photograph. We will remove it from our own channels and stop any new use, but we cannot recall materials that have already been printed or shared by others.
