A Nottingham skin cancer nurse says it's completely wrong to think the sun in the UK isn't as hot as when we're abroad #heatwave

A Nottingham skin cancer nurse has told Capital it's completely wrong to think the sun in the UK isn't as hot as when we're abroad. Gill Godsell works in the Dermatology Department at Nottingham Treatment Centre: 'People think the sun here is not as hot and they don't take the precautions as they do when they're abroad. 'Funnily enough, I've just got back from Spain and it's hotter here than it was there last week and just as dangerous'. Gill also says they're starting to see skin problems a whole generation earlier than normal because people aren't protecting themselves in the sun as much as they should: 'We do see younger people who are developing the type of skin cancer that we would normally only see in over seventies. 'We're seeing them now in their thirties and forties and invariably they've used sunbeds.'
