One of the country's biggest beauty therapy clinics has partnered with the Skin Cancer College of Australasia to train technicians to spot suspicious legions.

Caci Clinic will train all of its therapists and nurses to recognise potential skins cancers, and encourage clients to see a GP.

This follows a successful trial with clinics in Australia, with training also run by the Skin Cancer College of Australasia.

Emily Stevenson is the product manager at Caci Clinic and is spearheading the initiative, she speaks with Charlotte Cook.
