16.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Most women that are diagnosed with breast cancer are over the age of 50 but younger women also get breast cancer. In fact, 1 in 8 women are diagnosed during their lifetime. If breast cancer is discovered in its early stages, there is a great chance of recovery. This is why it is so crucial for all women to check their breasts on a regular basis for any changes. Remember you don’t need to be an expert or use a special technique to chec...k your breasts. Changes to look for include: -a new lump or lumpiness, especially if it's only in one breast -a change in the size or shape of your breast -a change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion -a nipple discharge that occurs without squeezing -a change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling -an unusual pain that doesn't go away. Most changes aren’t due to breast cancer but it’s important to see your GP without delay if you notice any of these changes.

11.01.2022 Many Australians will remember the Sid the Seagull campaign in the 1980's which launched the 'Slip, Slop, Slap' message. Some things have changed since then but our sun is still the same. A lot of those Australians who first heard Sid’s message now have kids of their own. National Skin Cancer Action Week is the perfect opportunity to remind them of the importance of staying SunSmart, not just for themselves but for their kids as well. There are five simple things you can do t...o protect yourself and greatly reduce your risk of skin cancer. -Slip on sun-protective clothing -Slop on SPF30 (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you go outdoors and reapply every two hours afterwards -Slap on a broad-brim hat to protect your face, head, neck and ears. -Seek shade -Slide on sunglasses make sure they meet Australian standards A combination of these five measures, along with getting to know your skin and regularly checking for any changes are key. The time to stop cancer is before it starts. Let’s make the future cancer free. #nationalskincanceractionweek #cancercouncil

09.01.2022 Nov 14 is World Diabetes Day. Diabetes is a complex and serious condition that requires careful day-to-day management. This can be overwhelming, especially for those newly diagnosed. It is the fourth largest contributor to overall disease burden in Australia. This year, the World Diabetes Day 2020 campaign focuses on promoting the role of nurses in the prevention and management of diabetes. From the GP Practice, Emergency Department to the community setting, nurses play a ke...y role in: -The recognition of diabetes to ensure prompt treatment. -Providing self-management education and psychological support for people living with diabetes with the aim of preventing complications. -Raising awareness of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes and providing education and support to help prevent the condition. Speak to our practice nurse if you are worried about symptoms and signs of diabetes, or if you had any questions about diabetes.

09.01.2022 Every year over 5,700 women are diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancer. Their lives will change in an instant, as will the people around them. By hosting a pink event (or even actively wearing pink!) you will be making a difference in the fight against women’s cancer. Host a pink-themed party, morning tea, trivia night or other events to raise money for women’s cancers. Do you hold a regular barbecue, book club, bingo night or mother’s group? Why not make the next on...e pink-themed? You could try charging a ticket price, bringing in pink food to sell or getting your hands on prizes to raffle off. Why? Because you will be funding ground-breaking research, which is crucial if we want to find better ways to prevent and treat cancer, and of course, save lives. So go pink for a very worthy cause. Together, we can raise awareness and work towards a day where breast and gynaecological cancers are no more.

06.01.2022 According to the World Health Organization (WHO): by 2020, two-thirds of global diseases will be the result of lifestyle choices that include lack of exercise and overall physical activity, poor diet and obesity. Physical activity is any activity that gets your body moving, makes your breathing become quicker and your heart beat faster. You can be physically active in many different ways, at any time of day. Doing any physical activity is better than doing none. Be active o...n most, preferably all, days every week. Australia's National Physical Activity Guidelines suggest 150 to 300 minutes (2 to 5 hours) of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes (1 to 2 hours) of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both moderate and vigorous activities each week. They also advise muscle strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week. If you are new to physical activity or are concerned about the safety of being (more) active, speak to your GP about the most suitable activities for you.

04.01.2022 The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that as many as 212 million people, or half of all adults currently living with diabetes, are undiagnosed. Most of these have type 2 diabetes. IDF has created an online diabetes risk assessment which aims to predict an individual’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes within the next ten years. The test takes only a couple of minutes to complete. It is a quick, easy, and confidential way to find out your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. https://www.idf.org/type-2-diabetes-risk-assessment

03.01.2022 November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. It provides the opportunity to raise community awareness of lung cancer. The symptoms of lung cancer can often be vague and mimic those of other conditions, so it’s important to know what your cough is telling you. What are the symptoms? -coughing up blood... -a new or changed cough that doesn’t go away -chest pain and/or shoulder pain or discomfort the pain may be worse with coughing or deep breathing -trouble breathing or shortness of breath -hoarse voice -weight loss -loss of appetite -chest infection that doesn’t go away -tiredness or weakness Anyone can get lung cancer, even if they have never smoked. If lung cancer is found at an earlier stage, there is more chance of a better outcome. If you or someone you know have any of these symptoms and they are persistent, talk to your GP.
