19.01.2022 Find out if your child is a healthy weight. It’s not always easy to tell if a child is a healthy weight for their age and height.

17.01.2022 Fears of post-pandemic ‘tsunami of health problems’ Experts worried people delaying medical tests due to coronavirus will create 'tidal wave' of diagnoses Australians are delaying lifesaving medical tests during the pandemic. Number of people attending check-ups for cancer, diabetes and asthma, and even to report chest pains, has dropped dramatically since the pandemic began.... General practice consultations and specialist check-ups for chronic disease remain down across the board amid coronavirus fear. Patients who have chronic medical problems need to have regular checks to make sure they are going well, and so waiting until COVID-19 ends might mean they can get quite sick and might even end up in hospital. Anyone who has developed any new symptoms should not wait until the pandemic was over to get medical care. Those problems need to be sorted out now because if they do wait for a very long time it may go from being a treatable condition to an untreatable condition. GPs are urging people to get check-ups stating that GP practices are "probably safer than going to your local supermarket" Read more : https://www1.racgp.org.au//gps-fear-post-pandemic-tsunami- https://www.cancer.org.au//australians-urged-to-put-cancer https://www.abc.net.au//coronavirus-medical-testi/12241812

12.01.2022 R U OK day and national suicide prevention day was held last week. We often forget to ask our loved ones about how they really are! Got a feeling that someone you know or care about isn't behaving as they normally would?... Please ask R U OK and check in with your family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, when you see mothers with new born babies and people who are grieving.
