AUSTRALIA has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, according to the Cancer Council.
The Chemist Discount Centre's (CDC) Suncare and Hydration Health campaign provides consumer advice on how to stay hydrated and protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun, especially for people taking medications which can cause sun sensitivity.
Until the end of Feb, CDC is offering a free 'Protect yourself and your little ones this summer' advice booklet which supports the Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide advice, and has been developed to support suncare and hydration conversations and advice provided by the CDC pharmacy teams.
The fun and interactive POS materials - 'How damaging is the sun today?' with a UV index dial where staff can update the UV index each day - should create awareness, CDC concluded. Pictured: CDC Qld Westpoint pharmacy's display.
