21.01.2022 KRS patients are reassured about attending their regular appointments. We are taking the appropriate precautions in line with the Health Authority Guidelines to protect our Doctors, Staff and Patients against the spread of Coronavirus. If you are experiencing symptoms, please call the National Coronavirus Hotline on Ph. 1800 020 080 for further advice.

21.01.2022 There is no need to panic about the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Australia, but you may have some questions or concerns. Here's where to go and what to do.

21.01.2022 Every year at the start of summer, the Cancer Council Australia and the Australian College of Dermatologists, come together to host a national skin cancer action week. This awareness campaign is an important reminder to Australians of the significance of sun safety and early skin cancer detection. The 2020 National Skin Cancer Action Week is here, starting on Sunday the 15th of November to Saturday the 21st of November. Why do we have a national skin cancer action week?... The need to raise awareness about skin cancer in Australia is critical, particularly because the statistics for skin cancer in Australia are quite dramatic. Two in three Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. Every 4 minutes another Australian is diagnosed with skin cancer. Over 2,000 people in Australia die from skin cancer every year. So, don’t forget to book your routine skin check this summer, and stay sun smart!

21.01.2022 SKIN CHECKS IN WINTER AT KRS HEALTH. Its only natural to throw the heavy jumpers, pants and clothes on to rug up against the winter cold, which unfortunately makes the chance of spotting any problematic skin changes much slimmer. The problem is, many of the most harmful skin cancer types including melanomas can grow very quickly (potentially becoming invasive within months, or even weeks). If you do happen to have a risky mole or lesion on your skin and dont have it checked until spring or summer, thats months that it could be left to become more advanced. Don't risk it, book your skin check today with one of our qualified Doctors by calling 69226144. New patients are welcome.

09.01.2022 Dr Rod Burgess - Retirement Dr Rod Burgess has now retired after 33 years with KRS Health Family Medical Practice. We thank him for his dedicated service not only to his patients and the wider community, but also to his colleagues and KRS Health staff. We wish him the best is this new season of his life. A notice from Dr Burgess.... Hi All, As you probably know I have retired from medical practice. I have worked at KRS Health since 1985. It has been enjoyable , challenging and rewarding working here for 33 years. I have always felt at home here and never had itchy feet and wanted to move from Wagga or this practice. I would like to thank all of my patients, who have all been lovely and wonderful. I would also like to thank all of the staff, nurses and fellow doctors past and present who have all been fantastic to work with. And I would also finally like to give a big thanks to God who carried me through every day. Yours Sincerely Dr Rod Burgess

08.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and an important time for NBCF to highlight why research in this area is so crucial. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with 8 people losing their lives to the disease every day. Be breast aware, finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease. Remember you don’t need to be an expert or use a special technique to check 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 doctor without delay if you notice any of these changes.

03.01.2022 This year, KRS is supporting the Kmart wishing tree appeal. We have donated presents for young boys and girls that are less fortunate than most children their age. COVID has impacted a lot of people, jobs have been cut, and a lot of families have been apart for quite some time. It is important to remember to be kind and help others as much as we can. Together, we can all have a great Christmas wherever and whoever we are with. A little goes a long way, that's why we are delighted we could donate to the Kmart wishing tree appeal. If you would also like to donate, click on this link: https://www.kmart.com.au/kmartwishingtree We wish you a Merry Christmas.
