25.01.2022 Around the world just over half a million women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. Over 311,000 women will die from the disease, with 85-90% of these cases occurring in developing countries. When was your last Cervical Screen (Pap Test)? The Pap test has been replaced with a new Cervical Screening Test every five years. The latest medical and scientific evidence shows that having a Cervical Screening Test every five years is just as safe, and is more effective tha...n having a Pap test every two years. https://accf.org.au/ #cervicalcancerawareness #bulkbillingdoctors #rainbowbeach #tincanbay #cooloolacoast #gympie #newpatientswelcome

24.01.2022 On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With their armies retreating and close to collapse, German leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First World War. From the summer of 1918, the five divisions of the Australian Corps had been at the forefront of the allied advance to victory. Beginning with their stunning success at the battle of Hamel in July, they helped to turn the tide of the war at Amiens i...n August, followed by the capture of Mont St Quentin and Pèronne, and the breaching of German defences at the Hindenburg Line in September. By early October the exhausted Australians were withdrawn from battle. They had achieved a fighting reputation out of proportion to their numbers, but victory had come at a heavy cost. They suffered almost 48,000 casualties during 1918, including more than 12,000 dead. In the four years of the war more than 330,000 Australians had served overseas, and more than 60,000 of them had died. The social effects of these losses cast a long shadow over the postwar decades. Today, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we remember those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all wars and armed conflicts.

05.01.2022 Know the signs of heat-related illness and how to deal with them. Heat stroke occurs when a person's core body temperature becomes high and doesn't cool down. It can be caused by not drinking enough water, spending too much time in the sun and not being able to cool down quick enough. Keep an eye out for symptoms of dehydration or heat-related illness. This include dizziness, headaches, nausea or vomiting, fainting, bright or dark urine, confusion or slurred speech, a rap...id pulse, vomiting and diarrhoea, and a loss of consciousness. Drink plenty of water and avoid excessive physical activity on days like today. #heatexhaustion #hot #staycool #bulkbillingdoctors #cooloolacoastdoctors #tincanbay #rainbowbeach #gympie #newpatientswelcome

01.01.2022 Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Or so the saying goes. In reality - words do hurt - a lot. Geek, nerd, four eyes, loner, fatty, ugly, loser, weirdo, annoying. None of these are nice words to hear, but for many kids around Australia, hearing these words daily is their reality.... Research suggests that 1 in 4 Aussie kids will be bullied each year - teased, tormented, and isolated for being ‘different’. These kids fear waking up every morning, not knowing what horrors await them when they get to school. And often, they won’t want to ask for help for fear of being labelled weak. What if that 1 in 4 was your kid? It is National Bullying Prevention Week in Australia, but sadly, bullying is not something that is limited to a single week of the year. It may not be a problem that makes headlines every day, but still, it is one that is constantly touching the lives of people across Australia. Those getting involved in bullying may not realise it at the time, but what they are doing ruins lives; with bullying being one of the biggest contributors to depression, anxiety, and suicide globally. It’s time to put an end to bullying! Stand up for victims by refusing to accept victimisation, hate, exclusion and intolerance. It’s time to advocate for inclusion, kindness, empathy and acceptance. If you choose, please copy and paste this in honour of all children who are impacted by bullying. Our world would be far less beautiful without them. It’s time to spread the word, and let your family and friends know that bullying is never OK.
