Well, I don't know about you, but this week the sun has shone in all its glory where I live.  After what seems like a long, wet autumn and winter, it has, quite frankly, been glorious to drink my morning cuppa sat in the warm sunshine. 

With the nicer weather in full swing, we’re likely to be spending more time outdoors, so it’s time to start thinking about protecting ourselves from those UV rays! 

Skin cancer is the 5th most common cancer in the UK, with almost 9 in 10 cases caused by exposure to too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and sunbeds. In this episode of That Cancer Conversation, the CRUK podcast team chat about the importance of taking care of our skin, as well as discussing some common skin cancer and sun safety myths. 

If you have any questions about skin cancer or staying safe in the sun, you can call our team of nurses for more advice and information on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. 

And if you're planning to be out and about enjoying the spring sunshine this weekend, don't forget to stay safe in the sun!
