25.01.2022 Farming can be dangerous - worse even than mining Hows your property for safety? ________________________________________ "As of this week, five Queenslanders have lost their lives on quad bikes in 2020, compared to three in NSW, two in Victoria and one in WA. ... "Queensland also accounts for seven of the 29 deaths that have occurred on Australian farms so far this year, which AgHealth Australia says is on trend with the nations six-month average of 32 on-farm fatalities. "The latest figures come after Queensland recorded more non-fatal injuries in rural workplaces than the rest of Australia combined in the first half of 2019"

19.01.2022 Stillbirth is a tragedy at such a special time in a family's life. About 20% or 1 in 5 might be avoided by - stopping smoking - measuring baby's growth carefully - monitoring movements - sleeping on your side... - timing deliver carefully For more information, ask your doctor or midwife

13.01.2022 We agree with Dr Roach and Royal Aust & NZ College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists RANZCOG... - re-opening the maternity unit in Beaudesert has restored generalist skill levels locally with theatres for general surgery, gynaecology and more. It keeps doctors, midwives, nurses with advanced skills, allied health and others working right here. And the Medical Centre has a long association with the hospital with many of our doctors having worked there as well as in the community Metro South Health Queensland Health Rural Doctors Association of Queensland - RDAQ Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) AMA Queensland RACGP
