09.01.2022 NSW Health is urging people to take precautions with heatwave conditions forecast for parts of the state this weekend. Simple ways to reduce the risk of heat-related illness include: Avoid the heat of the day by staying indoors and keeping cool by using air-conditioning, fans and drawing blinds and curtains closed Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water ... Check on the welfare of vulnerable neighbours, friends and family Plan ahead for hot days. Signs of heat related illness include dizziness, tiredness, irritability, thirst, fainting, muscle pains or cramps, rapid pulse, shallow breathing, vomiting and confusion. People showing severe signs should seek urgent medical attention and, in an emergency situation, call Triple Zero (000). People should also continue to practise COVID-19 safe behaviour during the heatwave. If you are able to cool your home through a combination of fans, air-conditioning and closed blinds, please do so and stay at home. This is so physical distancing in other indoor spaces where people may seek relief from the heat, such as libraries or shopping centres, is not compromised. If you do leave your home to visit other indoor spaces, please physically distance and wear a face mask in places where you cannot maintain 1.5 metres distance from others. Keep in touch with relatives, neighbours and friends virtually through phone, social media or video call.

07.01.2022 NOTICE: Please wash your hands regularly, even at home

04.01.2022 Hastings Medical Centre is taking our responsibilities towards social distancing very seriously, but we don’t want our patients to feel that we can’t be reached. A lot of our existing patients (seen within the past twelve months), particularly those most at risk of coronavirus, qualify for telemedicine consultations with our doctors, and we are up and running with this model. To book a telemedicine consultation with one of our doctors, call 6585 1977. If we do deem that a physical consult is required, this will be arranged by the doctor. Please take care everyone, and please take social distancing very seriously.
