Sunscreen advice includes sports venues
November 26, 2013
A recent finding of the
Cancer Council suggests
Australians should take as
much care at sports venues
as at the beach. Pharmacists
can advise customers of these
newly-identified dangers
when providing guidance on
sunscreen products.
Louise Baldwin, Chair of
Cancer Council Australia’s
Skin Cancer Committee said
over the next three years, 44
000 Australians (40 a day)
would be told they had the
deadliest form of skin cancer,
melanoma. Almost two in
three would be men.
‘The figures are startling
when you put them in
perspective,’ Louise said.
‘44,000 people is more than
a full capacity crowd at the
Gabba.’
‘Cancer Council is reminding
Australians that the ‘slip, slop,
slap, seek and slide’ message
doesn’t just apply at the
beach.’
