PHARMACY staff are invited to participate in the Cancer Council's Sunscreen Education Month quizzes for the month of October.
Two key educational quizzes are available with the opportunity to win one of 50 Vitality Health Packs valued at over $150.
According to Cancer Council, only 12% of Australians are buying sunscreen and despite Australia being exposed to some of the highest UV levels, and having some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, most people don't apply enough sunscreen, resulting in only 50-80% of the protection stated on the product.
This is why sunscreen education is becoming increasingly paramount and pharmacy staff are urged to help address these alarming facts, the Council says.
The two activities to complete are a brand Overview and Quiz which is open to take now and How to Apply Sunscreen Animation and Quiz -- open to take from 17 Oct - check with your store manager.
