19.01.2022 Christmas is a special time of year where family reconnects and Santa hopefully arrives. This year is extra special for some of us, as we reconnect with family that we have not seen in many months. To ensure we continue to support our patients over the Christmas period we are advising that the practice will be closing at midday on Christmas Eve and will reopen on Tuesday 28 December 2020 at 9:00am. As some of our doctors are having holidays during December 2020 and January 20...21, please check your scripts. If new scripts are needed or a new referral is required, please ring our receptionists to make an appointment. #scripts #christmas #merry #merryandbright #advent #family #medical #doctor #gp #generalpractitioner #insta #picoftheday #santa #merrychristmas #newyear

08.01.2022 Today is World Osteoporosis Day! Osteoporosis is a common disease in Australia with 1.2 million people estimated to have osteoporosis and further 6.3 million with low bone density. Osteoporosis is the underlying cause of painful, debilitating and life-threatening broken bones - known as fragility fractures. It is a growing global problem: worldwide, fractures affect one in three women and one in five men over the age of 50. ... Osteoporosis affects families - family members often bear the burden of care. If one of your parents had osteoporosis or hip fracture, this may increase your own risk of developing the disease. If you have any concerns about your bone health please discuss this with your doctor. Bone health concerns the entire family - ensure your family maintains a bone healthy lifestyle. #osteoporosis #osteoporosisprevention #osteoporosisawareness #bonehealth #healthybones #healthyliving #medical #middleridgefamilypractice #toowoombasmallbusiness #toowoombabusiness #toowoombaliving #picoftheday #fb #exercise #instagram #insta #socialdistancing #staysafe #generalpractice #gp #doctors #nurse

07.01.2022 UPDATE We kindly recommend that patients wear a mask to their appointment If you have been to a hotspot or interstate within the past 14 days please call the practice on 07 4635 1688 and request a Telehealth appointment. ... If you have a throat issues, runny nose, respiratory issues, OR fever please do not come inside, instead call the practice for a Telehealth appointment. Even if you think it may be teething or hay fever we cannot be careful enough. We need to protect everyone. Regrettably at this stage, we are unable to provide all patients with a mask due to supply issues. Hopefully this will change. Masks are available for purchase at Marys Pharmacy next door or we have reusable 3 layer cloth masks for sale with all proceeds to a medical Charity Clinic in Vanuatu organised by Dr Tamaras Mum.

03.01.2022 R U OK? Day is our national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK? if someone in your world is struggling with lifes ups and downs. The message for R U OK? Day 2020 is: THERES MORE TO SAY AFTER R U OK?... 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. In the lead-up to R U OK? Day well help Australians know what to say when someone says theyre not OK and guide them through how they can continue a conversation that could change a life. You dont have to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says theyre not OK. By knowing what to say you can help someone feel supported and access appropriate help long before theyre in crisis, which can make a really positive difference to their life. Your practitioners at Middle Ridge Family Practice are here for a check in if you R NOT OK. If you require an urgent check in please advise our medical receptionists. We encourage all our patients to discuss their mental health and wellbeing, particularly in the current COVID-19 environment. #ruokayday #ruokayday #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #wellbeing #wellbeingwednesday
