International Epilepsy Day
To raise awareness, highlight challenges faced by people with epilepsy, and advocate for better care and research.

It emphasizes that while epilepsy is one of the oldest known medical conditions, it is still surrounded by fear, stigma, and misconceptions that hinder care and social inclusion.

The day serves as a critical opportunity to educate the public on simple, lifesaving actions: keeping the person safe, turning them on their side, and never forcing anything into their mouth.

Skin Cancer Awareness
Overexposure to ultraviolet rays while lying in the sun is the leading cause of skin cancer and sun beds and sun lamps are just as dangerous. Skin cancer develops in the cells in the top layer of your skin, the epidermis UV radiation includes both UVA and UVB rays which are able to pe*****te your skin and cause permanent damage to the cells below.

UVA pe*****tes deeply into your skin (the dermis) causing genetic damage to cells, photo-ageing (wrinkling, sun spots) and immune-suppression.

UVB pe*****tes into the epidermis, causing damage to the cells. UVB is responsible for sunburn – a significant risk factor for skin cancer.

If your body is unable to repair this damage the cells can begin to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. This growth can eventually form a tumour. Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers can be invasive as they grow across the surface of your skin and sometimes down through the layers. If the tumour grows through the wall of a blood or lymph vessel, cancer cells can then break off and spread to other parts of your body. That's why it's so vital to check and detect skin cancer early.
