23.01.2022 During the pandemic, many of us have altered the way we think about hygiene and making sure we do everything possible to stay safe and healthy. The things we learnt when we were young and are common sense to us now have all been reinforced during the pandemic. This includes washing our hands after going to the bathroom or before eating at the dinner table. Various illnesses can spread when someone who is sick coughs or sneezes on you, or they touch a surface, and you touch i...t shortly after, like a doorknob, phone or handrail. To reduce your chance of getting any kind of sickness you should keep up these great habits: Regularly wash or sanitise your hands, especially before and after eating (where possible, you should Carry hand sanitiser with you when you leave the house) Try to avoid touching your face as much as possible this is how some viruses enter the body Stay home if youre feeling sick and get tested Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow, but make sure you throw the tissue in a bin straight away Avoid hugging, kissing or shaking hands with someone if you or they are not feeling well Clean busy areas in your home if someone isnt feeling well (you can find some tips and tricks for cleaning high-traffic areas on the Queensland Health website) Try and keep two big steps away from other people as much as possible. www.pulsemedical.com.au Info sourced: https://www.health.qld.gov.au//keeping-healthy-habits-new-

20.01.2022 The mental health impact of COVID-19. As we continue to work our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been considerable discussion in the media about the impact the virus is having on our mental health and may have on our suicide rates. For some Australians, the restrictions governments have rightly put in place to combat COVID-19 have been a catalyst for relationships to be strengthened and reaffirmed, including developing new ways to work together. We have seen th...e renewal and importance of reaching out and being socially connected even while physically separated. However, for many of us, while physical distancing is helping to prevent people from contracting the coronavirus, it has also created other problems, including isolation, loneliness and anxiety. For those who have lost a job or are worried their business may go under because of the economic downturn, the impact on family and career is significant, and the uncertainty hard to deal with. But it is important to recognise the measures put in place to try to reduce the negative effects. These have included significant initiatives to support employment and maintain financial security. However, although addressing economic and financial stressors is imperative, there is also a significant role for the health system in providing care and support to assist recovery. If you feel overwhelmed by feelings of isolation than please reach out to us. Phone (07) 3272 8543

We can use contact tracing to get in touch with peop...le they may have already been in contact with and let them know if they need to self-quarantine. With all the focus on testing, you might have some questions about how it works. Where do you get a COVID-19 test, how does it work, who should be tested and what are our next steps?

09.01.2022 The pandemic has helped Queenslanders understand more about viruses than ever before. Weve learnt how they spread and infect, and how we can keep ourselves and those around us protected and healthy. Doing things like retaining our distance, covering coughs and sneezes, and washing our hands often, has protected us from COVID-19. These arent new actions. We already use these the same measures to protect ourselves from other viruses like the common cold and the flu. But most ...of us now have a better understanding of why we should be doing them correctly and more often. Some of these actions may seem like a big adjustment, we need to make them a habit, in the right way. This will make sure we can be the healthiest versions of ourselves all the time, not only through a pandemic. As we ensure these health measures are done more regularly, we could say that this is now our new normal. www.pulsemedical.com.au

06.01.2022 We recognise the differentiation between nutrition and dietetics is not universal. In Australia, all dietitians are nutritionists, as all dietitians must have studied nutrition and nutrition science. The key difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist is that, in addition to or as part of their qualification in human nutrition, a dietitian has undertaken a course of study that included substantial theory and supervised and assessed professional practise in clinical nutrition, medical nutrition therapy and food service management.

01.01.2022 Generic medicines vs. brand-name medicines. When getting a prescription filled, you might have been asked whether you would prefer the generic alternative. Understanding the differences between generic and brand name medicines can help you make an informed choice. Are generic medicines the same as brand-name medicines?... In the way, they work, yes. In other ways, maybe not. Every medicine has two names: a brand name, which is given by the pharmaceutical company that markets the drug a generic name, which is the drugs active ingredient that makes it work When medicine with a new active ingredient first appears, it is protected by a patent for several years. The patent is designed to allow the company to make enough profits to recover the money it spent developing the medicine, or on buying the rights to market it. While the medicine is covered by a patent, other companies cannot sell a similar medicine containing the protected active ingredient. After the patent expires, other companies are allowed to develop medicines based on the active ingredient. These are known as generic medicines. There may be several of them with different brand names, but the same active ingredient as the original. Generic medicines may be different from the brand name version in: shape, size and colour packaging inactive ingredients that do not contribute to the treatment effect of the medicine Are generic medicines as effective and as safe as brand-name medicines? Yes. Because they contain the same active ingredient and dose, they will work in the same way. Generic medicines can only be sold in Australia if they meet the same strict standards of quality, safety and effectiveness as the original. Why are generic medicines often less expensive? Generic medicines cost less than brand-name medicines because the manufacturers have not spent money on research and development of the medicine, or buying the rights to sell it. What to consider when offered a generic medicine A generic medicine will cost you less than the original and will have the same effect as the original. You may choose not to switch to avoid confusion, especially if you take several different medicines. If you have allergies, you would want to check whether or not the generic medicine contains something you are allergic to. If you have any questions about generic medicines, ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Information sourced: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/generic-medicines-vs-brand-
