Our Care in the Sun campaign takes place every May, to coincide with Sun Awareness Week. It highlights the risks of over exposure to the sun which can result in skin cancer.
Skin cancer, particularly malignant melanoma, is continuing to rise in Northern Ireland and rates are increasing by an average of 4 men and 9 women each year.
Research has indicated that this trend will continue and we could see a trebling of malignant melanoma rates over the next 30 years with people being diagnosed at a progressively younger age.
