Sun awareness week commenced 8th May 2017. We would like to promote awareness about skin cancer prevention and early detection of changes in moles.

Key messages are:

A cervical screening test (previously known as a smear test) is a method of detecting abnormal cells on the cervix. The cervix is the entrance to the womb from the vagina.
Detecting and removing abnormal cervical cells can prevent cervical cancer.
