May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month

☀️ Skin Cancer Awareness Month – Know What to Look For ☀️

Most moles and skin changes are harmless — but it’s important to know what to look out for.

🚨 Check for:
• A new mole or skin mark
• A mole that changes shape, colour, or size
• A mole with uneven edges
• A sore that doesn’t heal
• Itching, bleeding, crusting, or pain

A good way to remember is the ABCDE rule:
• Asymmetry
• Border irregularity
• Colour changes
• Diameter increasing
• Evolving or changing

❗ If you notice any changes to your skin, please contact us.

☀️ Skin Cancer Awareness Month – Protect Your Skin ☀️

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK — but there are simple things you can do to reduce your risk.

🧴 Protect your skin by:
• Using sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher
• Reapplying regularly
• Covering up in the sun
• Wearing a hat and sunglasses
• Avoiding sunbeds
• Taking extra care between 11am and 3pm

🚨 Sunburn increases your risk — even in the UK.

☀️ Skin Cancer Awareness Month – Check Your Skin Regularly ☀️

Getting to know your skin can help you notice changes early.

🪞 Try to check:
• Your face and scalp
• Your back and shoulders
• Arms and legs
• Hands and feet
• Areas you don’t normally see

Ask someone to help check difficult areas if needed.

❗ If something changes, doesn’t heal, or doesn’t look right — please contact us.

☀️ Skin Cancer Awareness Month – Don’t Put It Off ☀️

We know people often delay getting skin changes checked because they think it’s “probably nothing”.

Most changes are harmless — but if something:
• Changes
• Bleeds
• Itches
• Crusts
• Doesn’t heal

👉 Please get in touch.

You are never wasting our time.

We know that visiting the practice can sometimes feel overwhelming for some of our patients, especially when it’s busy or noisy.

That’s why we’re pleased to let you know that we now have a Calm Waiting Space available at Mount View 💛

This quieter area is available for any patients who would prefer a more peaceful environment while they wait for their appointment.

If you feel this would help you, please just let a member of our reception team know when you arrive, we’ll be more than happy to show you where it is and let your Clinician know you are there.

We want all of our patients to feel as comfortable and supported as possible when they visit us 🫶🏻

Dear Mount View Patients, we have had an issue with our phone system this morning, we believe this is now rectified. Thank you for bearing with us 🫶🏻

You asked, we listened 💛

We’ve recently made some changes to our waiting area at Mount View following feedback from our patients.

We understand that sharing a large reception space with other services can sometimes feel busy and overwhelming, and at times, our patients were finding it difficult to access seating.

Thanks to your feedback, we’ve now created a dedicated Mount View waiting area, helping to make things clearer, calmer, and more comfortable.

✔️ A defined space for Mount View patients
✔️ Improved access to seating
✔️ A more organised and calmer waiting environment

We’re really pleased with how this is working already, and we hope it’s made a positive difference to your visit.

Thank you, as always, for your feedback, it genuinely helps shape how we improve our services 🫶🏻

💙 Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 💙

This April, we’re supporting Bowel Cancer UK to raise awareness of bowel cancer — the 4th most common cancer in the UK.

🚨 Knowing the symptoms could save your life:
• Blood in your poo
• A change in bowel habits (looser, more frequent, or constipation) • Unexplained weight loss
• Persistent tummy pain or bloating
• Feeling very tired (which could be due to low iron)

👉 These symptoms don’t always mean cancer — but it’s important to get checked.

📩 Screening matters
If you’re aged 50–74, you’ll automatically be invited for NHS bowel cancer screening.
It’s a simple test you do at home — and it can detect cancer early, before symptoms even start.

❗ Don’t ignore symptoms at any age
If something doesn’t feel right, please contact us.
We’re here to help — no matter how small it may seem.

📲 How to contact us:
• Online via our website
• By phone
• At reception

💙 Early detection saves lives — please don’t delay.
