Every year, thousands of Australians are hospitalised for anaphylaxis, often as a result of food allergies. With one in 20 children and about one in 50 adults suffering from food allergies, worrying about having a severe, and possibly fatal, reaction to something youve eaten is a very real concern for many Australians.... So what exactly is anaphylaxis and what can you do to stop it? http://www.abc.net.au//anaphylaxis-and-allergies-e/8715284 http://camdensouthfamilydoctors.com.au/

16.01.2022 There’s a lot of confusion about dietary fats with a constant stream of conflicting messages in the media e.g. butter is back and health benefits of coconut oil.

15.01.2022 Safe Travels at - http://camdensouthfamilydoctors.com.au/ Before travelling overseas, particularly to less developed countries, it is worth discussing disease prevention measures with your GP. Whether it is a visit for the first time, an old favourite holiday like a regular trip to Bali or you are travelling back to your country of origin to visit relatives: advice on health travel is important. These visits can be used to discuss new and emerging diseases such as Zika Virus,... outbreaks of infections such as cholera and long standing tropical diseases such as Dengue Fever. Issues such as travel insurance and regular medication supply and documentation also need discussion. The advice you will receive will depend on things such as the countries visited, general health, age, and the length and standard of travel. A visit to one of our experienced doctors can provide you with general information about the risk of countries you may visit and the measures you can take to protect your health and also personalise this advice to your circumstance. Apart from Yellow fever vaccination when visiting certain countries, no vaccination is essential for travel; however some are advised depending on a risk assessment. A starting point is to always make sure you and your family are up to date with the Australian Schedule for vaccination such as tetanus, whooping cough, measles, mumps and rubella. Other vaccinations such for Hepatitis A and Typhoid are usually desirable but sometimes are not as strongly recommended for short trips using good accommodation. All of these issues take time to discuss and to formulate a plan with your doctor. Also, many vaccines need to be given a few weeks before travel to be fully effective. So dont leave it to the last minute; make sure your plans include a Travel Health appointment with us long before you take off. http://camdensouthfamilydoctors.com.au/

12.01.2022 GP Management Plans For patients with complex medical needs, Camden South Family Doctors provides management plans that enable doctors to plan and coordinate the health care of patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions. A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke.... If you have a chronic condition, with or without complex care needs, a GP Management Plan will enable your GP to provide a structured approach to your care. It is a plan of action in which you agree management goals with your GP. Once you have a GP Management Plan in place, you are able to access up to five allied health services each calendar year. The five services can be provided by a single allied health provider or shared across different providers. You can request that your GP refer you to an allied health provider, or your GP can recommend one. We are pleased to have are very own onsite Allied Health services available for Physiotherapy, Dietician & Nutritionist, Exercise Physiology and Podiatry, which we believe adds value benefits, to our patients, doctors and medical support staff. For further advice on how these allied health professionals may provide further health benefits for you, then simply discuss that with your GP. http://camdensouthfamilydoctors.com.au/

11.01.2022 HOW A PATHOLOGY TEST CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE --- Use our onsite Pathology Collection Clinic --- "All referrals are accepted" ... How a Pathology test can aid you and others: Pathology tests can be used as a simple protocol for a general health check up. They can be used for early detection of diseases. Due to early diagnosis, this can be beneficial to you as it would prevent further possible implications and for your current condition to get worse than it is at the time. Pathology tests can inform you weather you are infected with a possible contagious or noncontagious disease, an example of an infectious disease could be a bacterial infection and a non-infectious disease could be Kidney disease. It can also inform you a final diagnosis such as an assessment of a biopsy to check if a mole or lesion is a skin cancer. It can help control the effectiveness of treatment for a disease or condition such as assessing the average amount of glucose in the blood over a few months to monitor diabetic control. It can help prevent possible infectious diseases spreading to others from you but also preventing others from spreading those unwanted diseases to you also which is why this test can be significant to not just you but the community. Interpretation of Results These tests might be mandatory for you because of the following factors due to 1 or more out of the possible reasons for you are: Age and gender Current condition and physical findings History Medical, family and social Medications Occupation Ethnicity Diet Other, diagnostic procedures Pathology tests can assist a medical diagnosis Pathology tests are associated with more than 70% of all diagnoses and almost all cancer diagnoses. They can: Provide information to confirm or exclude the presence of particular diseases, such as a wound swab to confirm or rule out a bacterial infection. Provide a final diagnosis such as an assessment of a biopsy to check if a mole or lesion is a skin cancer. Facts: Pathology tests are associated with more than 70% of all diagnoses and almost all cancer diagnoses.
