Synopsis

Sunshine helps us give that much needed vitamin D, however, too much exposure can cause sunburn and even certain skin cancers such as melanoma. How do we prevent melanoma? How do we recognise the symptoms? We speak to Dr Juber Hafiji, a consultant dermatologist and spokesperson for the British Skin foundation to learn more. We also hear from Professor Julia Newton-Bishop, who is a clinician scientist leading the Melanoma Research Group at the University of Leeds and Richard Jackson who was successfully treated for malignant melanoma in 2006. They both worked with us on the NICE melanoma guideline: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng14
