25.01.2022 Is it smoky or hazy at your place? If you have respiratory issues, bushfires or dust storms nearby can trigger adverse reactions. It’s recommended you stay i...ndoors with windows and doors closed, follow any medical plan provided by your doctor such as an asthma management plan, and avoid vigorous exercise. If you experience shortness of breath, prolonged coughing or wheezing seek medical advice. There are other precautions we can all take! Air-conditioned environments can provide protection. If you have an air conditioner at home, turn it on and, if applicable, use them in a recirculate mode. Avoid outdoor activity. If you must go outside spend as little time outside as possible. Avoid vigorous exercise outside, especially if you have asthma, diabetes, heart disease or a breathing related condition. If you are an asthmatic or have a respiratory condition and you develop symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, or chest pain, follow your prescribed treatment plan. Continue to use your usual medication. Seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen. Dust storms may reduce visibility. Extra caution should be taken when driving. If your car is air-conditioned, reduce the amount of dust entering your car by switching the air intake to recirculate. Be careful when cleaning away the film of dust in homes afterwards use water to wipe it away, because sweeping and dusting will just stir it up again. See more

20.01.2022 If the cooler nights have you digging blankets and winter clothes out of storage for your baby, please avoid anything that has been stored with naphthalene (mot...hballs or flakes). Babies, particularly those less than six weeks of age, should not wear clothes or sleep in bedding stored with naphthalene because it can cause severe poisoning just through skin contact. Naphthalene is absorbed easily through the skin, especially in young babies. Babies less than six weeks of age are very sensitive to even small amounts because they cannot metabolise it. This means they can become very sick and take a long time to recover. The Queensland Poisons Information Centre does not recommend the use of naphthalene products as a moth repellent in baby clothes or bedding. Even washing clothing or blankets with soap or detergent and water does not remove all traces of naphthalene, so it’s best to just avoid it altogether. For poisoning advice 24 hours, 7 days a week, call the Queensland Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.

Residents should: Move inside and stay inside as much as possible Close windows and doors Use fans or air conditioning on recirculating mode to keep cool Move outdoor events to an indoor venue or reschedule Keep medications close by if suffering a respiratory condition Be vigilant in taking prescribed medications for existing lung conditions Children, the elderly and anyone with a chronic illness or respiratory issue are at particular risk.

06.01.2022 MEASLES ALERT FOR GOLD COAST The Gold Coast Public Health Unit has been notified of a case of measles on the Gold Coast. The individual, whilst infectious..., travelled between the Gold Coast and Sydney on Tiger Airlines TT609 on the morning of Saturday, 29 June and between Sydney and the Gold Coast on Jetstar Airlines flight JQ420 on the morning of Tuesday, 2 July. Whilst on the Gold Coast, the individual visited a medical centre at Oxenford on 3 and 4 July. Tourist destinations at the Spit Main Beach and Marina Mirage were also visited whilst the person was infectious. Members of the public who were at these locations at the same time as the individual, need to be alert for symptoms of measles. The initial symptoms of measles include fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore red eyes. This is followed a few days later by a blotchy, red rash which often starts on the face and then becomes widespread over the body. If you have any of the measles symptoms contact your GP and remember it is VERY important to call the medical practice first if you think you might have measles, so that staff can take precautions to avoid spreading it to others. Anyone born after 1965 who was in these areas and who has not been fully vaccinated against measles (two doses of MMR) should contact their GP. The measles vaccine is provided free for any person born after 1965. For more information on the measles virus visit the Queensland Health website or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) for more information. (Note: image is not of diagnosed patient - this is merely the best image to show one of the symptoms).

05.01.2022 We are a family based practice and pride ourselves on being able to accomodate our patients at short notice however occasionally when we are fully booked we need to ascertain the level of urgency on an individual basis and book accordingly. We will always endeavour to do our best for our patients!

05.01.2022 Good morning! Unfortunately our phones and server are down at the moment. We are working on fixing this problem ASAP. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

05.01.2022 MEASLES ALERT GOLD COAST The Gold Coast Public Health Unit has been notified of a second case of measles on the Gold Coast in a week. This person spent time... in the following locations while unknowingly being contagious: - Skateboard park in Currumbin on 24 September - Skateboard park in Runaway Bay on 27 September - Dreamworld on 29 September - Westfield Helensvale Shopping Centre on 30 September Members of the public who were in these areas, on these dates, need to be alert for symptoms of measles for the next three weeks. The initial signs and symptoms of measles include fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore red eyes. This is followed a few days later by a blotchy, red rash which often starts on the face and then becomes widespread over the body. If you have any of the measles signs or symptoms contact your GP. It is important to call the medical practice first if you think you might have measles, so that staff can take precautions to avoid spreading it to others. You are generally considered to be immune to measles if: You were born before 1966; or You have had two documented doses of a measles containing vaccine (such as MMR); or You have measles immunity proven on blood testing; or You have had laboratory-confirmed measles disease. Anyone who does not meet the above criteria would benefit by contacting a GP regarding immunisation. Vaccination now will not prevent infection from this particular exposure, but it will help protect you in the future. The measles vaccine is provided free for any person born during or since 1966. For more information on the measles virus, visit the Queensland Health website or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).
