The perils of a 'Manx Tan' - charity reminds people to stay protected in the sun
People who have, or who have previously had, skin cancer are being invited to attend a new support group.
Manx Care has established a forum which will be led by consultant plastic surgeon, and the clinical director for cancer services and diagnostics, Professor Partha Vaiude.
The first meeting of the Isle of Man Skin Cancer Patient Forum will take place on Monday (24 April) at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital between 4pm and 7pm.
Anyone who wants to attend should email skincancersupport@gov.im.
Meanwhile, it’s believed skin cancer rates on the Island are on the rise.
It’s led to the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association warning people to stay protected from the sun as we approach summer.
