Meanwhile, the HSE National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP) and Healthy Ireland are raising awareness of the steps you and your family can take to protect your skin from the sun and reduce your risk of skin cancer in Ireland.
Minister of State for Public Health, Hildegarde Naughton, Dr Triona McCarthy from HSE’s NCCP and professional golfer Padraig Harrington, are highlighting the many ways in which people can be SunSmart this summer.
Spending time outdoors is good for everyone as it can improve overall health and wellbeing. But it is important to protect our skin when outside in the sun. If you’re spending the long weekend out in the sunshine, be prepared and be SunSmart.
Most people think they don’t need to take care of their skin when in Ireland but with almost 13,000 cases diagnosed annually, skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in this country.
Even on cloudy days, from April to September, ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels in Ireland can be high enough to damage skin and increase the risk of skin cancer.
