Last meeting, President Peter welcomed Dr. Steve Brooks from Skintech Medical, who stressed the importance of regular skin checks and sunscreen use. With two in three Australians affected by skin cancer, early detection is key.
Melanoma can spread through the lymphatic system, while other types invade nerves. UV exposure is the main cause, and sunscreen takes 20 minutes to activate and must be reapplied every 2-4 hours.
✅ 90% of melanomas are treatable with surgery.
✅ A 20-minute skin check can detect concerns early.
✅ No referral needed—just book an appointment.
President Peter then thanked Steve for an interesting and scary presentation and for sharing details about a truly fabulous local service.
Stay sun-safe and check your skin regularly! ☀️
