24.01.2022 It is i m p o r t a n t to know that face masks alone will not protect you from COVID-19. It is also vital that other COVID safe practices are followed, including: Washing hands often and thoroughly Maintaining a social distancing Covering coughs or sneezes Staying at home if unwell...

20.01.2022 Vietnam Veterans Day is commemorated on 18 August every year. The day was originally known as Long Tan Day, chosen to commemorate the men of D Company, 6RAR who fought in the battle of Long Tan in 1966. On that day, 108 Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought a pitched battle against over 2,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops in a rubber plantation not far from the small village of Long Tan. The Australians prevailed, but only after fighting in torrential rain for four hours. They were nearly overrun, but were saved by a timely ammunition resupply, accurate artillery fire from the nearby Australian base, and the arrival of reinforcements by armoured personnel carrier. Eighteen Australians lost their lives and 24 were wounded, the largest number of casualties in one operation. Lest we foget.

20.01.2022 Sometimes we need a little help with getting our eating habits back on track.

19.01.2022 Today we said goodbye and good luck to our wonderful RN Danni who has an opportunity to work at Mater Hospital in theatre. It has been a pleasure having Danni with us and we know that she has learnt a lot from the doctors, staff and patients (and we have learnt just as much from her). We are excited for what the future holds fo her. Thanks for everything Danni, your beautiful smile and gentle, caring nature will be missed

17.01.2022 Who would have thought! A check up with your GP might ease your pain!

17.01.2022 Happy Left Handers Day to all the "lefties" out there. Here are a few interesting facts about our left handed friends. Left handers make up 10 - 12% of the worlds population Left handers use their right brain which is linked with creativity making them better artist Left handers tend to be more affected by negative emotions such as anger and fear Left handers often have an advantage in sports which involve two opponents facing each other ... There are more left handed people with IQ's over 140 as compared to right handed people (Albert Einstein, Issac Newton, Charles Darwin) Bamford Medical is over run with left handers, Callam (Manager), Jenny (RN) and Krys (HomeCaring Townsville) See more

If you have any questions or concerns we are always happy for chat about health (and anything else) . You can book an appointment online via HotDoc or the old fashioned way on the telephone 47732888 We will help you look after your health See more

07.01.2022 We all have days when we just don't feel OK (especially at the moment with so much uncertainty around us) but for some people that feeling of not being OK can be overwhelming. If you have a friend, family member or work mate who just doesn't seem the same (maybe they are not as outgoing as usual or more agitated or just not themselves) then take a moment to checknin and ask if they are ok. A conversation could change a life. If you are struggling, a chat with your GP is a good place to start at getting you back to feeling your normal self. #ruokday2020

06.01.2022 It is a common misconception that bowel cancer is 'an old person's disease', but the reality is that you should never be told that you are too young to have bowel cancer. Around 1 in 10 Australians diagnosed with bowel cancer are under the age of 50. S Y M P T O M S include: Blood in your poo or rectal bleeding A recent, persistent change in bowel habit (e.g. diarrhoea, constipation or the feeling or incomplete emptying) A change in the shape or appearance of your poo... (e.g. narrower poos or mucus in poo) Abdominal pain or swelling Pain or a lump in the anus or rectum Unexplained anaemia causing tiredness, weakness or weight loss If you have any of these sysmptoms it is important you speak to your GP and remember you are #Never2Young. https://www.bowelcanceraustralia.org/what-is-bowel-cancer
