About the CPD course
An educational course to raise awareness and promote early detection of melanoma; which is rapidly becoming one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. People who work in the beauty; health and well-being industry are uniquely placed to spot suspicious lesions on their clients; as they have regular access to their client’s body and often parts they cannot see for themselves. We offer an interactive workshop that challenges common misconceptions; provide real case studies and facilitate thought-provoking dilemmas. In addition to vital information about melanoma; how to identify suspicious lesions and building confidence in approaching clients.
Melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in the UK. Around 13,500 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed each year More than a quarter of skin cancer cases are diagnosed in people under 50, which is unusually early compared to most other types of cancer. Over recent years, skin cancer has become much more common in the UK. This is thought to be the result of increased exposure to intense sunlight while on holiday abroad.
MelanomaMe offer free counselling, one-to-one/group support and holistic therapies to all those effected by Malignant Melanoma and other forms of skin cancer.
