It’s National Skin Cancer Action Week 2024! ☀️ checklistAI content tips ACD - The Australasian College of Dermatologists to encourage all Australians to make sun protection a daily habit to protect their skin from UV exposure. Often called our ‘national cancer’, Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, with two in three Australians developing skin cancer in their lifetime. Most of us know someone who has been impacted, whether they’re a family member, a friend, a colleague or a neighbour. 📊 Recent statistics show that only 53.9% of Australians utilised three or more forms of sun protection during peak UV times last summer. This is concerning, as over-exposure to UV radiation is responsible for up to 95% of melanomas, the most dangerous form of skin cancer. The good news? Skin cancer is almost entirely preventable. Let’s make sun protection a habit to protect our skin from UV exposure and ensure a healthier future for all Australians. Read our new article, with insights from Dr Adriene Lee, President of the Australasian College of Dermatologists: Protecting your skin from incidental sun exposure | Cancer Council When the UV is 3 or above, remember to use all five forms of sun protection: Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, and Slide. #NationalSkinCancerActionWeek #SunSafeHabits #ProtectYourSkin
