This month is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and we are raising awareness of the risks of skin cancer and ways you can help to reduce your risk.

86% of cases of melanoma are preventable yet increasing numbers of people are being diagnosed with this type of skin cancer. There are now more than 16,000 new cases each year in the UK.

Being sun-safe and regularly checking your skin for any changes, are two really important ways you can reduce your skin cancer risk.

For more information or to download a skin check leaflet to help monitor your skin, please visit Melanoma Focus website:

💙🎗️April is Bowel Cancer Awareness month and we are working with Wessex Cancer Alliance to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, and the importance of seeking advice from your GP, if you have any concerns.

Bowel Cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. About 43,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year. If it is detected early, treatment is more successful and there is a good chance of recovery. It is important that you go to your doctor, with any signs or symptoms so they can help to rule out bowel cancer.

9 times out of ten, your symptoms will not mean you have cancer, but it is better to know as early as possible, so you can rule out cancer or get the treatment you need, quickly.

For further information and details of support available in your area, please visit Wessex Cancer Alliance’s dedicated website https://cancermatterswessex.nhs.uk/bowel-cancer/
