What are the UK statistics about sunburn?

In the UK, it is estimated that around 86% of adults experience sunburn at some point in their lives, with a significant rise in cases among younger people. Approximately 200,000 hospital admissions annually are related to skin cancer, much of which is linked to UV exposure and sunburn. Public health campaigns emphasize the importance of sun safety, highlighting that even short periods of sun exposure can lead to sunburn, particularly in fair-skinned individuals.
