Following the skin check, visitors will be issued with a referral to their GP if there are any suspect spots or lesions.
The Unit simply provides the skin check and alerts the visitor to skin lesions that require further checking and attention.
The air conditioned van has three fully equipped screening rooms and an entry foyer, as well as a disabled lift and entry at the rear.
