Now that summer is here, the team will also be providing specialist information about sun safety and skin cancer.
Details of the visits:

Caroline Kipling, from the mobile information team, said: “Most skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. This may be long term exposure, or short periods of intense sun exposure and burning. Using sunbeds can also increase your risk. Our team will be on hand to answer questions about sun safety and for any other cancer-related queries.”
