Bridport Medical Centre is supporting the #CoverUpMate campaign. "Men who spend long periods of time outdoors are being urged to protect themselves against the sun this summer amid a rise in the number of people being diagnosed with skin cancer in the South of England. Farmers, builders, sportsmen and gardeners are all being targeted by NHS England South’s “Cover Up, Mate” campaign because of their prolonged exposure to the sun – and men are a particular focus because research indicates that they are much less likely than women to slap on the sunscreen." A timely reminder! Read more and follow the advice... https://www.england.nhs.uk/south/2016/07/18/coverupmate/
