It is primarily aimed at GP’s and other members of the primary care team such as practice nurses, public health nurses, pharmacists, chiropodists and students of these disciplines.

Skin Cancer
By Dr David Buckley
Most people love a sunny day. It can improve our mood and helps with vitamin D production. However, with all the sunshine we have been having recently, it should make us more aware of the dangers of the sun. While sunburn may be painful, it can also put us at risk of skin cancer later in life. More prolonged but less intense ultraviolet light (UVL) exposure from the sun or sunbeds on the skin may lead to a tan. However, if the skin is constantly being exposed to the sun or UVL it can lead to premature aging of the skin (causing wrinkles) and to skin cancer.

What is Botox?
Botox© is an FDA approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, wrinkle lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes in women and men. Botox© helps to make you look younger, less cross and less stressed. When Botox© is given properly by an experienced doctor it can make you look great without been obvious. Botox© temporarily reduces muscle activity in these areas and stops the repeated muscle contractions which result in frowning and squinting, which can cause wrinkles over years.
