If only government would provide an ounce of help toward the educational intervention required on soooooo many levels to prevent this disease and help relieve the significant burden on the NHS...

Instead, it’s left to charities who have lost a loved one to step up and take action.

1 in 4 males and 1 in 5 females will be diagnosed with skin cancer, yet 90% of cases are preventable! AND skin cancer costs the NHS an estimated £500 million annually!

It’s a no - brainer! Education is key to combatting skin cancer and saving lives.

Every month is #SkcinCancerAwarenessMonth
