09.01.2022 Happy Spring everyone! As we move into better weather and hopefully the end of stage 4 lockdown, we look forward to a slightly more relaxed environment and hopefully less distress. I know a lot of my patients have been hunkered down since March and there has been a definite lack of people coming in for their regular checks. Health assessments, Pap smears, skin checks, routine follow up mammograms, blood tests, colonoscopies have all been put on hold.... Please keep an eye on your Preventitive health, and once you feel comfortable, book your appointments. At the clinic we are doing lots of telehealth but also face to face appointments. Those who feel vulnerable, think about making a late appointment as there are a lot fewer people in the building after 5 pm. At present we are closing at 6 pm but I’ll let you know as soon as we are extending those hours back to 8 pm. There are some Covid testing sites locally- Sandringham Hospital has a walk in testing site, Springers in Keysborough has a drive through site. There are some local pathology Covid testing sites as well- you need a referral for these, but we can easily do this for you.

03.01.2022 Latest influenza figures from RACGP. By this time last year there were 30,567 cases of Influenza in Australia. This year there are 208 cases. That’s a drop of 99% !!!! Social distancing and hand hygiene works.... For those of you who feel they really need to go to today’s rally to support the call against black deaths in custody, please consider your social distancing. Wear a mask and gloves and stay away from people who are yelling, singing, chanting or sneezing as all of these greatly increase the transmission not just of Corona virus but also other viruses. Take care, my community. And if you do develop symptoms, please get Covid tested and call for a telephone consultation first so you can be properly assessed.

03.01.2022 Small Human trials are commencing in Australia for a Coronavirus vaccine, similar in development to the HPV and Shingles vaccine. This is only phase 1, but it’s a promising start. Keep warm everyone and keep safe.... Life at the clinic is getting busier. More people are coming out to have face to face consultations and our clinic will be opening again in the evenings as well from June 9 as a trial to see if the demand is there with more going back to school and work. We are getting an examination room Pod this week for all respiratory infection cases, so we can safely see patients in a private and warm environment without any risk inside the clinic. We still have plenty of flu vaccine for those who still haven’t had it. Please continue to have your regular checks. If you are concerned about coming to the clinic or anything you might need, I am always available for telephone consultation. Just book through reception on 95165100 or hotdoc app.

02.01.2022 Iboprufen and Covid. Hot off the press from RACGP: WHO recommends people with Covid 19 symptoms to use Panadol instead of Iboprufen for short term use. There is some evidence that iboprufen may prolong symptoms and susceptibility to pneumonia. The anti inflammatory properties in Iboprufen May dampen down the immune system and slow the recovery process . It’s early days. ... Our number of cases in Australia doubled overnight This is where Italy was 3 weeks ago. Be vigilant, call doctors ahead for phone consultation Socially isolate. Thank god we’ve got the internet!
