The Lions Club of Bacchus Marsh are proud to announce that the Skin Check van will be visiting Bacchus Marsh on November 25 and 26 at the Village Green, Main Street.
The van will provide a free skin checking service to local people and will be operated by fully trained, certificated and professionally supervised volunteers. The unit will also be able to provide information about skin care and self-checking techniques.
Following the skin check, visitors will be issued with a referral to their GP if there are any suspect spots or lesions.
The Unit is not a medical clinic, so diagnosis or treatment requirements are not discussed – it simply provides a first step in ensuring urgent needs are addressed.
The airconditioned van has three fully equipped Checking rooms and an entry foyer, as well as a disabled lift and entry at the rear.
The initiative comes as a art of a Lions V Districts Cancer Foundation project that has put a Skin Check and Awareness Unit on the road through Victoria and southern New South Wales.
Early detection of skin lesions potentially saves lives, to book a free Skin Cancer Checking, local and surrounding residents should contact Lions Bookings.
Details: 0434 702 695.
