23.01.2022 October is Mental Health Awareness month. With one in five Australians affected by mental illness every year, Mental Health Australia is urging us to "Look after your mental health, Australia." While this message is always important, it's essential during particularly challenging times like we've all experienced this year. Here's five tips to help keep you healthy inside and out.

21.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. It's an opportunity for us all to be breast aware and support those affected by the disease in our community. Early detection is essential, and a quick and simple self-check can help you to identify any changes, including: 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. Remember, most changes aren’t due to breast cancer, but it’s essential to see your GP without delay if you notice any of these changes. To book an appointment, please call our Elizabeth, Golden Grove, Greenwith, or Paralowie clinics, or visit www.familyhealthgroup.com.au

18.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day. It's a day to remind us to check in with family and friends because a conversation could save a life.

You can also speak with our GPs. To book an appointment, please call our Elizabeth, Golden Grove, Greenwith, or Paralowie clinics, or visit www.familyhealthgroup.com.au

18.01.2022 ePrescriptions are coming! We’re starting to roll out secure electronic prescriptions (or ePrescriptions) at our clinics. An ePrescription is a prescription that is electronically generated and sent to your mobile phone or computer. It provides convenient access to medicines, supports telehealth consults, enhances a contactless experience, and means fewer lost prescriptions.... You can use an ePrescription in the same way as a paper prescription to get medicines from your pharmacy. Paper prescriptions will still be available to use if you choose. To prepare for using ePrescriptions, please make sure your address, email address, and mobile number are up to date when you visit our clinic next. It’s also useful to check with your local pharmacy to see if they’re able to manage ePrescriptions at this time. Please speak to your doctor or our reception staff for more information.

15.01.2022 Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a timely reminder for us all to be aware of any changes and especially for those aged 50 to 75 to screen for bowel cancer using a free, simple test at home.

These safety measures include: Encouraging telephone appointments (where possible). Limiting the time of face-to-face appointments. Requesting that all patients wear a face mask while in the clinic.... We are also continuing to observe social distancing >1.5m and are limiting the number of patients in our waiting room.

01.01.2022 During the SA lockdown, the safety of our patients, doctors, and staff is our priority, so we’ve introduced some temporary changes. For your safety: SA Health has requested that we delay non-essential healthcare services, including immunisations, minor surgery, health checks, and Allied Health visits. We offer a telehealth consult first. If a face-to-face consult is required, it will be safe for you and arranged by your doctor. ... Medicare access restrictions to telehealth have been waived during the lockdown. We have screening triage at the clinic entrance. All staff and patients are requested to wear a facemask while in the clinic. Consults are time-limited to 15 minutes or less. Remember, hand hygiene, cough and sneeze catching, and social distancing of at least 1.5m is our best protection. Stay home and stay safe, but please get a COVID-19 test if you have symptoms. We’re all in this together.

01.01.2022 This year, Diabetes Australia has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the real impact diabetes can have on a person’s mental and emotional wellbeing. They estimate that people with diabetes face up to 180 diabetes-related decisions every day. That’s more than 65,000 extra decisions a year! If you have diabetes and feel frustrated, sad, worried, down, or depressed, you're not alone. Professional support is available, so please reach out. The early detection and treatment of diabetes is important to reduce the risk of serious complications. If you haven't been previously diagnosed with diabetes and are showing possible symptoms such as increased thirst, urination, and tiredness, or have slow-healing wounds or persistent infections, it's a good idea to book an appointment with your GP to arrange a simple blood test.
