24.01.2022 Helpful #COVID19 update from Canberra Health Services. If you are unwell with respiratory symptoms, particularly fever and cough please seek advice from GP or CHS facilities as we are not an emergency practice and do not have facilities to diagnose or manage acutely unwell patients. Please defer your specialist appointment until you recover. We understand infections are unpredictable and will do our best to accomodate an adjusted appointment.

24.01.2022 Patricia’s husband is a former veterinarian and is living with Alzheimer’s disease. Now in the later stages of the condition, there are very few things that giv...e him comfort apart from his cat. Mooshu is always there for him and is one of the only things that will calm and comfort him throughout the day. We love their snuggles. See more

23.01.2022 More than Medicine loves being in Braddon near Haig Park. Excited to see what comes of the ideas for new ways to enjoy our park!

23.01.2022 Yesterday was winter solstice. Feels appropriate to mark the middle of this year. Hoping as the days lengthen again things continue to improve around Australia and the world. #cbr #winter

22.01.2022 Great night last night talking about how to make it easy for women cycling in Canberra for a Women’s Heath Week. And a new book for our waiting room!

21.01.2022 More than Medicine supports the #ClimateStrike tomorrow. Good luck for all those involved tomorrow.

21.01.2022 We are so proud of Canberra's response to risk of COVID-19 infection. There have been no reports of community transmission in the ACT. This is a good sign for the coronavirus outbreak in our community. Social isolation, and staying home has worked well in Australia controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are some challenges, particularly for our older patients. Here's a great discussion about why continuing to exercise is important and how it might be achieved at home.

20.01.2022 Our thoughts are with all those affected by bushfires and smoke across the ACT, NSW and Victoria. The magnitude of the suffering and devastation is profound. We all know someone affected and are thinking of so many of you. The challenge and risks continue. The ACT Government has declared a 'State of Alert'. Check you have a fire plan and know your local resources. Check www.esa.act.gov.au for more information. We look forward to seeing you in what we hope are better times when we reopen in mid-January.

20.01.2022 Dr Mary Ann Kulh speaks about the benefits of creating patient centred spaces for managing delirium in hospitals

19.01.2022 Looking forward to having our local tram up and running soon. Test it out over Easter!

19.01.2022 This End of Financial Year, please consider the Hush Foundation as a charitable organisation you could donate to. With your help, we can continue transforming the culture of healthcare through the arts & kindness. To donate, please go to: givenow.com.au/hushfoundation

19.01.2022 Happy Acacia Day from our team!

17.01.2022 Popping in on the weekend to take care of our plants. Love the fresh herbs with our lunches and a great way to greet people as they arrive.

17.01.2022 Artist Graeme Cossey from Cootamundra is a friend of More than Medicine. We are so proud to have his art hanging in our waiting room. We hope our space is relaxing and enjoyable for our staff and patients. Some of this art is also (reluctantly!) for sale!

17.01.2022 Adult medicine specialists are often asked about the preventative use of aspirin. This JAMA article offers a well written and practical perspective on the use of low dose aspirin for primary prevention.

16.01.2022 Love this time of year with the Enlighten festival. Particularly after our #BlackSummer it’s a delight to see these beautiful balloons in the morning.

15.01.2022 Update from Canberra Health Services on ACT #COVID-19 response.

14.01.2022 We all recognise the benefits of exercise in our daily lives. And exercise is an important part of ageing well. Here's some interesting advice and perspectives on what sort of exercise we should do when we're older - from The New York Times

14.01.2022 Cycling to work in Canberra winter can be daunting but is quite lovely (with warm gloves and socks!).

13.01.2022 Gorgeous sunsets in Canberra, particularly tonight. The beautiful bush capital.

13.01.2022 Here is a great summary of some recent research, reminding us that small changes to our diet can help with maintaining a healthy body weight.

12.01.2022 Special report from The Economist on the global rise in prevalence of dementia. Important public health problem that we can partially address by improving health behaviour in younger years. #walking #talking #food

11.01.2022 Cardiology and Geriatric Medicine have lots in common. Not just at More than Medicine but in medical research and treatments.

11.01.2022 #COVID-19 is a serious challenge for Australia and the world. At More than Medicine we take the infection risk seriously and will be working with our staff and patients to continue to provide medical care through these challenging times. We are offering telephone / video consultations for our patients where appropriate. Here is a useful explainer from the New York Times on #COVID-19 and what we might expect from the coming months.... https://www.nytimes.com//as/china-coronavirus-contain.html See more

10.01.2022 Happy World Delirium Awareness Day! The wonderful Mary Ann Kulh and Stella Creighton raising delirium awareness on ABC666 this morning. Great work team!

09.01.2022 More than Medicine is proud to announce that Dr Arnagretta Hunter is a 2019 Bob and June Prickett Churchill Fellow.

08.01.2022 Happy Ride-to-Work day! Lovely morning to be cycling in Canberra. Here is a recent Canberra Times article considering how we might get more women cycling featuring local Canberra women including Dr Hunter. At More than Medicine we welcome our patients cycling to see us and have bicycle parking at the front of the office.

08.01.2022 More than Medicine is so proud to have Stella Creighton in our team! Not only is she a legendary clinical nurse consultant, but she is a cake-baking wizz! Again she was with Shane Rattenbury at the PANDSI Cake Off with an amazing cake! Congratulations Stella (and Shane)!

07.01.2022 'The Importance of Trees' A Discussion of trees in Canberra, including their health benefits. Should be a fun discussion!

07.01.2022 We're never too old to start a daily exercise habit! And the benefits are tremendous at any age.

05.01.2022 Compliments of the Festive Season from the crew at More than Medicine! We hope you have a relaxing, restorative break. More than Medicine is closed from today until Monday 13th January. We look forward to seeing you in 2020.

03.01.2022 Walking more is associated with living longer for older women. 4000 steps are better than 2000 / day, and the goal should be ~7,500 / day.

02.01.2022 Afternoon nap on the weekend? Napping once or twice a week may improve your cardiovascular wellbeing. https://heart.bmj.com//ear/2019/08/16/heartjnl-2019-314999

02.01.2022 We love our local community in Braddon. There’s a sense of community and wellbeing which is lovely for a medical practice. Here’s a good example. Might see you there?
