06.01.2022 As summer approaches, it’s important to plan ahead to avoid heat-related illnesses. Many pop-up testing clinics may be located outdoors with minimal shade. If y...ou must be out in the heat or waiting in a car for a long time, plan ahead. Make sure you stay hydrated, avoid direct sun and never leave babies, children or animals in a car. Don’t forget to check in or call older relatives, neighbours and other individuals at an increased risk for heat-related illness that may be isolated due to COVID-19.

GP, Dr Benjamin Nelson and Practice Nurse, Louise Bowran spent the morning in Mitta Mitta on the 16th November and a total of 12 clients visited. Feed back from the local community was that the service was very welcomed and appreciated. In future clients would like more visits to occur with increased advertising of the planned dates. Locum GP, Dr Quinton Miles, Credentialed Diabetes Educator, Denise Johnston and Practice Nurse, Louise Bowran visited Dartmouth on the 17th November for the second clinic. Dr Miles was very amused at the prospect of seeing Dinosaurs in this high-risk area as indicated by the road signage. Another 12 Dartmouth community members took advantage of our clinic made possible from MPHN funding to allow us to go out to our communities. The Van was kindly provided by the POCHE Centre for Indigenous health in Albury and made visiting these communities so much easier as all our equipment is within the van. Community members benefited by having their skin checks performed and general health and wellbeing discussed. Our next Clinic will be held at Eskdale Hall on the 3rd December 2020.
