25.01.2022 This Antimicrobial Awareness Week we are joining with health organisations around the world to promote the appropriate and safe use of antibiotics. Antimicrobials are very precious and we are raising awareness of the problem of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria. Overuse, misuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics may accelerate antimicrobial resistance. Everybody can be part of the solution - whenever antimicrobials must be used, they m...ust be used with care. The future of antimicrobials depends on all of us! Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria stop an antibiotic from working effectively without effective antibiotics some procedures may not be possible and some infections could be impossible to treat. Learn more about the importance of keeping antibiotics effective at - www.safetyandquality.gov.au/aaw #thelockyerdoctors #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek

Take the mindful and balanced approach. Having clear but flexible goals and strategies to be sensible with your food and drink is a good idea.

07.01.2022 15-21 Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Every year skin cancers account for around 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers. Around 2000 people die from this disease every year. However, more than 95% of skin cancer cases are caused by unprotected exposure to UV radiation from the sun, meaning it is nearly an entirely preventable cancer.... The sooner a skin cancer is identified and treated, the better your chance of avoiding surgery, potential disfigurement or even death.

An annual full body skin check by a GP is a good idea for all Australians, more regularly if you have a history of skin cancers. Skin cancers rarely cause pain in the early stages and are much more frequently seen than felt.
