TruCheck™ is the most effective & convenient diagnostic blood test available to distinguish up to 70 types of solid cancer tumours at their earliest stages.

When you come in for a TruCheck™ test at a Thyme clinic, your Thyme GP will go through your medical history and discuss any concerns that have led you to take the test.

Your GP will also explain the risks and benefits of the test, and a small blood sample will be taken, then sent off to a specialist UK laboratory for analysis.

Once the results have been received, which takes around two weeks, we'll arrange a follow-up consultation.

There are lots of misconceptions about skin cancer - what to look for and how serious the disease can be. As it's Skin Cancer Awareness Month, take a moment to remind yourself of some of the subtle changes that could indicate a problem.

Firstly, remember that different types of skin cancer can vary in how they look, and if you have black or brown skin, some skin symptoms may be less obvious. Some possible symptoms are listed below. But if you have any skin change that is ongoing, unexplained or unusual for you, make an appointment with your GP.

• A new mole, or a mole that changes shape, colour or size.

• A lump on the skin.

• A patch of scaly, crusty or rough skin.

• Sores or scabs that haven't healed after three weeks.

• Changes under the nails or on the palms or soles. Acral lentiginous melanoma is an uncommon type of Melanoma. But it is more common in Black and Asian people. It usually develops in areas of skin that get little sun exposure.

If anything seems out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to get it checked out urgently by a GP.

Walking is one of the simplest yet most effective forms of exercise, offering health benefits for the body and the mind.

But how many steps should you aim for each day, and how much cardiovascular exercise is recommended for optimal heart health?
