Charity mole/skin check with Honiton Lions

In association with the Lions charity in Honiton Dr Tony Downs, Consultant Dermatologist carried out a mole/skin check for the local East Devon population on Saturday 21 May 2022.

Over 100 people were seen throughout the morning raising money for the Honiton Lions charity that supports many local ventures in and around Honiton and East Devon.

A number of probable melanomas and non-melanoma skin cancers were identified at this event and these will proceed to hospital NHS surgery through their local GPs.

Melanoma is the 7th commonest cancer and Devon and Cornwall has four times the national average.

Getting your skin checked out by a competent doctor picks up potentially serious problems earlier.

A big thank you to everyone involved and to all those who attended to support this worthwhile event.

Dr. Antony Downs and Dr. Nigel de Souza, GP partner in association with the Lions Club, held a Mole Check event on Saturday 13th July at Coleridge Medical Centre, Ottery St Mary near Exeter in aid of Cancer Research UK.

160 people were seen and over £1600 was raised for Cancer Research UK in one morning. It was a fantastic team effort helping to raise awareness and a significant sum towards the fight against skin cancer.

The team put in a great deal of work to host the event but it was very much worth it, with lots of appreciative patients, and a number of skin cancers identified which are now on course for treatment.

A big thank you to everyone involved and to all those who attended to support this worthwhile event.
