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:

Blood in your urine is the most common sign of bladder cancer.
