The HSE National Cancer Control Programme and Healthy Ireland have teamed up with the GAA and Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps in Clare, Limerick and Tipperary to help protect children’s skin this summer.
The campaign encourages us all to enjoy the sun safely by being SunSmart when outdoors, especially from April to September.

Every year in Ireland, over 1,200 new cases of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, are diagnosed. If you are badly sunburned more than 3 times before the age of 20, you can more than double your risk of developing melanoma skin cancer as an adult. The partnership with the GAA promotes the important message that if you are involved in outdoor activities to always protect your skin, following the SunSmart 5’S.

Healthy Ireland’s simple SunSmart 5 S’s tell you how you can enjoy spending time outdoors in the sun, protect your skin and avoid getting sunburnt.
👕 Slip on clothing
🧴 Slop on sunscreen
👒 Slap on a wide-brimmedhat
🌳 Seek shade
🕶️ Slide on sunglasses

Using sunbeds has dangerous consequences. Sunbeds produce UV radiation causing premature skin ageing and increases your risk of skin cancer.

The University of Limerick (UL) is taking an important step by piloting the HSE SunSmart Campus initiative. This program aims to enhance the well-being of students and staff by promoting sun safety, education and practices on campus.

In partnership with HSE Mid West, the HSE’s National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP) and Healthy Ireland, the University of Limerick is adopting the SunSmart principles to raise awareness about the dangers of UV exposure and promote lifelong habits that reduce the risk of skin cancer—the most common cancer in Ireland.

Most people think they don’t need to take care of their skin when in Ireland but with over 11,000 cases diagnosed annually, skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in this country. Although skin cancer rates are more common overall in older people, a disproportionately higher number of people are diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer (the most dangerous form of skin cancer) under the age of 50 compared to all invasive cancers. The good news is skin cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. We can reduce our risk of skin cancer by protecting our skin from the sun and other sources of ultraviolet radiation, such as sunbeds. Being SunSmart and never using a sunbed, can help reduce your risk of all types of skin cancer, including melanoma.

A SunSmart Campus pilot aligns with the Healthy UL Framework, which aims to integrate health promotion into the everyday culture of campus life.
