A TEAM from Barnsley hospital and Yorkshire Cancer Research will be holding a skin cancer and sun awareness event in the town centre later this month.

The event will be on Cheapside and members of the public will be encouraged to go along and see them if they are worried about a changing mole or patch of skin.

People will be asked to fill in a confidential questionnaire about their concern and if appropriate they will be assessed by a consultant dermatologist on the day.

If needed the team will give people a letter to give to their GP for further intervention and onward referral.

On the day the team will be able to offer free confidential advice on keeping skin safe in the sun.
