21.01.2022 ICQ wishes to clarify that the meeting tonight is not a public meeting. Here's why: Currently, there isn't a clear plan in the Muslim community for how to handl...e the corona virus situation. Isolated discussions have been held by medical professionals and Imams, but there is little coordination. So this meeting is for leaders, Imams and health professionals only, to come together and devise a plan for how the Muslim community can manage the situation. This type of meeting of minds can't be done effectively online, so a physical meeting is required. Once the meeting is done and outcomes are clear, we will post the outcomes online for the whole community to see and act accordingly. We hope this clarifies who needs to attend the meeting. It's not for everyone to attend, and we know you will continue to trust that your leadership is treating this situation as a priority. See more

20.01.2022 The Islamic Medical Association of Queensland Inc. (IMAQ) was formed in Brisbane in 2010 to establish a network of Muslim Healthcare Professionals. IMAQ's primary objective is to establish a network of like minded healthcare professionals, with many ancillary objects. Our members include Medical, Dental and Allied Healthcare Professionals, as well as students in these various disciplines. Members are primarily based in Queensland but we do have members from other states across Australia.

20.01.2022 Herd immunity, vaccines, all in the news. Make an informed decision

20.01.2022 Ten tips for GPs when it comes to ENT: 1. Kids are not supposed to snore and it should never be advised that they will just outgrow it 2. Ciprofloxacin drops ar...e the best first line treatment option for a discharging grommet (and in Australia can be accessed under an Authority script) 3. Plain film X-rays of the sinuses are a waste of time 4. Ask about teeth grinding, sleep walking, sleep talking, and night terrors in children that snore or mouth breathe 5. Tongue ties have nothing to do with sticking the tongue out the mouth as much as they do with elevation of the tongue- get the child to open their mouth and lift it to the roof of their mouth- does it reach? 6. A proper audiogram will have air and bone conduction studies to differentiate between conductive and sensorineural loss 7. Sudden deafness in one ear that is sensorineural in nature is an emergency that needs oral steroids and potentially a grommet and topical steroids 8. Unilateral anything in ENT is a red flag: blood nose, blocked nose, middle ear fluid, otalgia, throat pain, tonsil enlargement, etc 9. Rhinitis is not the same as sinusitis but patients often call the former by the latter 10. Adult sleep apnoea is a disease of the upper airway and someone needs to look inside to see where the pathology is Was this helpful? Would you like more of these? Please share this post and if I see that it has enough shares then I’ll think up some more :) PS If you don’t know how to share a post, it’s really easy and there are plenty of simple YouTube videos that will show you the steps.

18.01.2022 It’s on today. The IMAQ scientific conference at the Hilton Hotel Brisbane. See you there. Thank you to all our sponsors.

16.01.2022 Official figures from the Premier of Qld. Active cases continue to drop Alhamdulilah. We have to guard against complacency though. Please follow guidelines and continue to thank the Almighty for His mercy upon us.

16.01.2022 We get this question a lot, especially following the requirement for people to wear face masks in other parts of the country. Face masks can be a useful measur...e to help control sustained community transmission. Sustained community transmission is when we have multiple cases of locally acquired COVID-19 where contact tracing and testing is unable to identify how the person was infected. At the moment, there is no evidence to suggest that Queensland has any sustained community transmission. If you live in the greater region of Brisbane, a face mask might be suitable if: You are in a situation where social distancing cannot be maintained, i.e. public transport or a busy shopping centre If your GP has told you to wear one If you are caring for someone who has COVID-19 If you are attending a GP clinic, hospital or ED If you are sick and getting a COVID-19 test Face masks alone will not protect you from COVID-19. It is also vital that other COVID safe practices are followed, including: Washing hands often and thoroughly Maintaining a social distancing Covering coughs or sneezes Staying at home if unwell Getting tested if you're showing any signs of COVID-19.

16.01.2022 Regarding Careless Forwards Of Anti-Vaccine Messages The Prophet said, "Whoever practices medicine without having studied it shall be responsible [for any har...m he causes]" (Reported by Abu Dawud and al-Nas'). This hadith lays out a very important principle: if a person gets involved in a field that he is not qualified for, and ends up causing harm to others, he shall be responsible, in the eyes of Allah, and possibly in the courts of men as well. Therefore, if someone has no knowledge of medicine, having never studied it or practiced it, but still takes on the role and responsibility of a doctor, prescribing medications and performing surgeries, that person shall be responsible, both legally and morally, for any and all damages his practice incurred. (On the flip side, we can also derive from this hadith that if a qualified doctor makes a sincere judgment call which turns out to be a mistake, generally speaking he shall not be liable). We currently have a global pandemic raging, devastating lives and disrupting every aspect of society. Now that there is the potential for a vaccine, let the specialists speak about its pros and cons, and don't jump on any populist bandwagon. Realize that if you forward nonsensical videos or relay incorrect information that potentially causes someone else to do something that is harmful (for example, to not take a vaccine that is effective), you might be liable for any harm caused. Also note that not everyone who can quote a verse or two is a scholar of Islam, and not everyone who wears a white jacket and stethoscope is a doctor. Do your research, and look at the credentials and specialization and reputation of the one you take any knowledge from, ESPECIALLY knowledge of your faith, and knowledge about protecting your life. Every field has its specialists, and we as Muslims give the rights due to the people who deserve those rights. In this field, let us follow actual medical experts, and not random Whatsapp messages or global conspiracy theorists. The Prophet said, "It is enough for a person to be a liar that he narrates everything he hears" (Reported in Ahmad). We can add for our times: ...and that he forwards every message he receives! Be careful, dear brothers and sisters, and don't act irresponsibly in a field that is not your area of expertise. Note: this is NOT a blanket endorsement of the vaccine. Rather, it is a call to act responsibly, and to let qualified, trained, recognized specialists lead the way to endores or criticize aspects of the vaccine.

16.01.2022 Today is 'International Nurses Day' a day that is observed around the world to celebrate the contributions that nurses make to society, so we decided to visit s...ome special nurses in the UAE and give them a little surprise. Thank you so much to all the incredible healthcare workers who dedicate their lives to taking care of us, you are the heart of our community, we love you always.

09.01.2022 Some measured relaxation to restrictions coming through on 2 May 2020 in QLD. This is because of the low rates of new infections in our state, Alhamdulilah. As we’ve seen elsewhere, we cannot be complacent, and the gradual reintroduction of liberties with close monitoring is absolutely the right thing to do. Have a blessed and safe Ramadaan
