14.01.2022 Why are feet important? Your feet tell a much bigger story: Your feet and lower limbs are often a critical factor in developing or avoiding non communicable health diseases elsewhere in your body.

03.01.2022 Dear Patients. As many of you have experienced, we are getting periodic phone call cut outs. We have been investigating these issues over the past few weeks and... unfortunately the issue is not isolated to Panaceum Medical but there is a West Australian supply issue that is causing all providers to experience similar issues. What that means is that we have no control to fix the issue, as the issue is with the communication organisations. What we can do is ask for you to please keep trying if a call does drop out, and we are using last number redial to try and re establish contact. Again apologies for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience, and we will continue to push for a resolution to the issue. See more

03.01.2022 PATIENT NOTICE - CLOSURE OF ONLINE BOOKINGS - CALL INSTEAD PLEASE Dear Patients, We have made the difficult decision to shut down the ability to make appointments online for all Panaceum Group practices and departments. This is due to patients using the online system to gain an appointment for Coronavirus assessment, which puts other patients and the practice at risk. For the safety of all and to quickly get patients the testing they need, those that have a potential risk of... Coronavirus are being managed away from the practice premise using a new telehealth system. We hope you will understand that we must protect the practice from a potential transmission of Coronavirus, not only to protect patients in the waiting room but also the community of Geraldton. If we do have a positive result for Coronavirus the practice is at risk of being closed for up to 14 days. The impact of this on the community would be too high and we are doing everything we can to manage this risk. You can help us by calling if you have concern that you may have come in to contact with the Coronavirus, have travelled internationally in the past 14 days or have cold or flu symptoms. Our resources are at the greatest stretch that we have ever experienced, as with all health care facilities, so please follow advice being given by public health stay home and call. As we have shut our online bookings our phone lines will be busier than ever, we ask you to please be patient. If your enquiry is not urgent please call outside of our busiest times. Our business busiest times are 8am-9.30am and 12-2pm. Thank you for your understanding. It needs a united community response that is sensible and measured to get through risks like this. The Panaceum Group

03.01.2022 Back to school: Does your child need a foot check up with a Podiatrist? Childrens feet are always on the move. Whether your child is standing, sitting, walking, running or skipping; their feet are on the move and growing! Your childrens feet will spend most of their growth period in school. It is important to ensure you have good advice on school shoes and that your child has the correct fit in length and width. Your child needs about 1cm of growing room between the longest... toe and the top end of the shoe. Your childs growing feet should not be squashed. A check up with a Podiatrist is recommended if your child complains about sore feet or if you notice changes, such as uneven shoe wear, hard skin, lumps or bumps on the feet. Recurrent pain in the feet or legs is not normal and needs to be checked out. If you have any concerns about your childs foot health seek help from one of the Podiatrists at Panaceum Group. Call Panaceum Seacrest on 9923 9999, 75 Barrett Drive, Wandina or Panaceum Allied Health, 233 Lester Avenue, Geraldton on 9920 8151. Alternatively you can book online via our website www.panaceum.com.au or the appointuit app. FUN FACT: Most people have one foot that is larger than the other. Make sure both feet are measured and fit your shoes to the larger foot. DID YOU KNOW? The human foot has 250 000 sweat glands. You should avoid shoes made from synthetic materials, as childrens feet perspire and need to be able to breath.

02.01.2022 Update on Online Bookings & Health Reminders The Panaceum Group operates a patient reminder system which allows your GP to send you important reminders for your health care, i.e. for regular blood tests or a regular cancer screening test like a CST. As from November the Panaceum Group will no longer be using Appointuit for reminders or online bookings. We have successfully trialled a new system and, for the time being, we will no longer send health reminders by email but by... SMS or letter instead. You will now receive an SMS to your mobile when your reminder is due, or a letter if we do not have a mobile number for you. Some messages will have a web link. When you follow the link it will take you to our website where you will find information about your reminder. In the course of the Covid-19 pandemic we closed our online bookings for regular appointments. We are now working towards a new online booking system watch this space! For any queries please give us a call and speak to one of our friendly team.

We are lucky to have amazing resources available to us and wonderful breast care nurses in Geraldton but this is due to fundraising and strong campaigns like Purple Bra Day to raise awareness and build the capacity to continue to provide the services patients need. How can you support this amazing cause? Donate your spare change or a dollar value of your choosing to the cause. Collection boxes will be available at our Panaceum practices including Panaceum Medical, Panaceum Seacrest and Panaceum allied and Industrial Health.
