In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Well-Being podcast, we speak with Selene Daly Tarpey, Nurse Tutor HSE Centre for Nursing and Midwifery Education Sligo Leitrim West Cavan, about the serious health risks of sunbed use and the importance of skin cancer prevention. Selene draws on her dermatology experience to debunk common tanning myths, including the idea that sunbeds boost vitamin D or provide a "safe base tan". She highlights the SunSmart 5 S’s, encourages fake tan as a safer alternative, and addresses social media's influence on tanning culture.
