Rebecca will be joining the nursing crew and Madelyn will be part of our front of house team.
UV radiation is dangerous because it’s not like the sun’s light which we see, or the sun’s heat, which we feel, so it can be damaging our skin without us knowing.
The free SunSmart app takes away the guesswork by telling you when the UV is 3 and above with sun protection recommended for your location.
It uses forecast information from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and live UV data from the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) to provide sun protection times for more than 600 locations across Australia.
Even though the weather outside is colder, your skin can still be absorbing the ultraviolet rays. It is necessary to wear sunscreen at all times when you are outdoors, regardless of the time of the year. You will be protecting yourself from sunburn and skin cancer by wearing sunscreen.
Remember to check your skin regularly, ask a friend or partner to help you check those tricky areas like your back and book a regular full skin examination with one of our wonderful doctor’s here at the Ballarat Surgicentre.
Phone 53030190 to book your skin check, once of our friendly reception staff will be able to assist.
May is Consumer Feedback Month at the Ballarat Surgicentre incorporating the Ballarat Skin Cancer Centre. We ask our patients to complete our feedback form as part of their discharge and ask that they return it to us to provide feedback on their experience throughout their visit.
We then use this information to improve the processes with particular focus on the safety and comfort aspects of their admission.
We also welcome any feedback from our patients at any time to ensure we are running our day hospital to the highest standards and your visit runs smoothly.
