As the weather warms up, remember to be Sun Aware.
Some sunshine helps the body create vitamin D and give us a feeling of general wellbeing but if we over-do our sun exposure this can cause permanent damage to our skin and is the main cause of skin cancer.
Use precautions when going out in the sun:
-
Slip on a top
-
Slop on some sun lotion
-
Slap on a hat
-
Seek out some shade
-
Slide on the sunglasses.
Remember we have models, posters and teaching packs for you to borrow and use for your teaching to staff and service users.
