23.01.2022 The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners is urging patients to talk to their GP if they have concerns about their mental health. Reports have emerg...ed today concerning the significant impact the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown is having on the mental health of Australians. A poll has found that half of all people are feeling isolated and an even greater number suffering stress. RACGP President Dr Harry Nespolon said that GPs are there to help. Professor McGorry’s concerns are certainly well-founded and I completely agree that this pandemic will weigh on many people’s mental health for some time. https://bit.ly/2xq7x6a

23.01.2022 Smoke from #bushfires continues to affect large parts of NSW. People with existing lung and heart conditions like asthma, emphysema and angina should avoid outd...oor activity and follow your disease management plan.

23.01.2022 Be aware that this very infectious disease has been around. This is why we immunise children....

23.01.2022 Important info let’s hope people heed the warning & we can stop the spread!

22.01.2022 Same same but different....... From 4/3/20 I will be joining the team at Coogee Medical Centre 21 Carr St Coogee 96654519 A long established practice, and a great team. Looking forward to practicing in a collegiate environment and providing excellent primary care to those in the area.

21.01.2022 If you were born between 1966 and 1994 you might not be fully vaccinated against measles! You need 2 doses to be covered, so get a free vaccine from your GP. (It's safe to have another dose). Find out more: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au//measl/Pages/travellers.aspx

20.01.2022 That’s refreshing to know! Goodness knows we try!

20.01.2022 Lots of hand washing and surface wiping. It’s that time of year!

20.01.2022 Terrible news today with the death of Kate Spade. Being famous and successful does not protect from depression. Remember to ask each other RUOK?

18.01.2022 DOCTOR DIAGNOSED WITH COVID-19 BLASTED BY VICTORIAN HEALTH MINISTER So the Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos is flabbergasted that a doctor with a runny... nose would return to work after a trip to the United States. So flabbergasted was she that she told the media that even though his symptoms of Coronavirus were mild, his decision to continue to treat patients is something for the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to pursue. In other words, threatening his registration. Are you kidding me? Let’s get the story straight. This doctor from Toorak went to the United States, a country that is not on the government’s list of high risk or even moderate risk countries. He got a runny nose and came back to work. As far as my medical colleagues and I can see, his actions did not contravene any government advice, inconsistent though it is from State to State. He did not meet the current criteria for self-isolation or even for COVID-19 testing. But what really flabbergasted me is that not only was the clinic identified, but the doctor was specifically named. Whether he is a doctor or not, this is an unprecedented breach of his right to confidentiality as a patient. Yes, doctors become patients from time to time as well and are entitled to exactly the same confidentiality as any other person. The other issue is that we have to get a clear message about the trigger for health professionals to stay home from work. With this current epidemic and the coming cold and flu season everyone is going to have to be far more aware of taking extra precautions to protect others. Many companies are taking the initiative of requiring employees who have done any international travel to work from home for two weeks. The problem is that the public health messaging to doctors and the public has been a shambles. How about the States and the Commonwealth public health authorities get together and come up with a consistent line of advice for GPs at the front line of this evolving epidemic so that we can make decisions in the best interest of our patients’ health, and for health professionals as well. And while they are at it, set up a centralized Federal version of the CDC in Australia to provide a state of the art single source of scientific-evidence based information and advice. And meanwhile, I hope the doctor with COVID-19 is okay, and makes a full and rapid recovery ...and knows his colleagues have his back. See more

16.01.2022 Don’t forget that although we are in isolation for Covid 19, routine medical problems still arise & it’s important not to ignore them. A colleague in A&E told me they’d seen 2 ruptured appendix as a result of people ignoring the early signs instead of being checked. Don’t ignore the rest of your health or routine things like childhood immunisations, at Coogee Medical Centre we’re still working hard to keep you well, with both Telehealth & face to face consultations when needed. We have social distancing measures in the waiting room as well as a large verandah outside to keep you safe, with frequent sanitising of all surfaces. Call us on 96654519 #gpexperthelp

15.01.2022 Back to work after 2 weeks’ holiday! Haven’t had a holiday for so long I’d almost forgotten how necessary they are! Need to take my own advice & book the next one in straight away so there’s something to look forwards to!

15.01.2022 If you're self-isolating, stay away from others at home. Be in a different room or as far apart as possible. Don't have visitors and don't share a room with peo...ple with are elderly or have heart, lung or kidney conditions or diabetes. Wear a surgical mask when you're in a room with others, or seeking medical care. Find out more about self-isolation and COVID-19 at: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au//Pages/coronavirus-faqs.aspx

14.01.2022 Not relevant to many but please check if you have any endone

13.01.2022 .....for all those wondering....not a bad guide

12.01.2022 What parents often forget! Cancel the tutor, let the kids play!!!

11.01.2022 If you have friends or family who may be at risk please share this with them!

11.01.2022 More cases folks, if you are at all uncertain about your immune status, no time like the present for an MMR booster

11.01.2022 We are seeing quite a number of flu cases in the past few weeks. Still time to be immunised! If you do get a fever & aching type illness please don’t spread it around, stay off work & see your doctor if you feel unwell.

09.01.2022 A healthy lifestyle can make a huge impact on your overall health. Why not use #MensHealthWeek to start some new healthy habits? Find out more: https://www.menshealthweek.org.au/ Western Sydney University - Men's Health Information & Resource Centre

09.01.2022 Thank you to RetroSpec’d Clothing www.retrospecd.com for the kind donation of PPE made from vintage fabrics. It will seem a shame to launder them as heavily as we’ll need to! As our stock is running low & with more testing on the horizon it is very much appreciated!

09.01.2022 Everyone has different views on vaccinating, however this speaks for itself...

07.01.2022 So sad to hear this today. It’s not too late to immunise.

05.01.2022 There has been a case of measles in the Shire. If you live or spend anytime there, watch for temperature, conjunctivitis & a rash. Measles can have serious effects, if in doubt, get checked out!

05.01.2022 I unfortunately have had to assist many people in this situation. This is actually quite a good set of contact considerations! Hopefully none of you ever need them!

05.01.2022 For anyone travelling to Bali please be aware there is an outbreak of Japanese Encephalitis, a very serious viral illness carried by mosquitos. If you are travelling it would be advisable to consider immunisation, there is a vaccine available.

05.01.2022 It’s great that everyone is seeking flu vaccine this year. Flu prevention is even more important when we are in the midst of Covid -19. Hoping we’ll have vaccines back in stock soon!

03.01.2022 Yet another case through Sydney...

03.01.2022 Last year was one of the worst on record & the Northern Hemisphere experience was similar.2018 Influenza vaccines are now available at Spot on Doctors, see you soon

02.01.2022 In keeping with the Covid 19 mbs item numbers, and for the safety of myself and my colleagues, from tomorrow consultations will be conducted via Telehealth. Please call the surgery on 96654519 to make an appt. You will receive a call at your appt time and a decision made from there as to whether you need to be seen face to face. This is new to all of us, so I ask you to be patient, essentially, please be near your phone at your appt time.

01.01.2022 ....and still the parents refused to complete his immunization........
