23.01.2022 14 days into May: learning to be a bit more aware, a bit more mindful and less judgemental...

23.01.2022 We are our best defence against COVID-19 The recent surge in community transmissions in Victoria demonstrates how pervasive and unrelenting this virus is. We’v...e watched on as the world has struggled to implement suppression, containment and in some cases, elimination strategies. Over 11.6 million cases of COVID-19 have now been reported to the World Health Organisation and more than 539,000 deaths. In the last week the total number of new cases reported in a single day rose to 211,000, the highest global increase to date. Sixty percent of all cases so far have been reported in the last month. During the first lockdown, many local people and businesses made sacrifices to protect our community. When the lockdown came to an end, we were hopeful that our hard work would pay off and that we would return to our normal lives. Sadly, in only a few short weeks COVID-19 has extended its tentacles again and forced a further lockdown of Greater Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire. With news that visitors to Port Fairy have also tested positive this week, the potential for community transmission in our region is ever more real. With no vaccine available, we need to continue to rely on each other to stop the spread of this devastating virus. Healthcare professionals and authorities will be working hard to test, find, isolate and care for people with COVID-19 and quarantine people they come into contact with. But each and every one of us also has to act responsibly and ‘do their bit’. Social distancing, washing hands and staying at home are all strategies that will be with us for some time. We also need to look out for each other and not stigmatise people who test positive. Sometimes when we fear the unknown we look at the world through an ‘us’ and ‘them’ lens. We know that stigmatised people feel isolated and abandoned and this can also impact on people coming forward for testing and treatment. In the Southern Grampians Shire we are fortunate to live in a community that has always demonstrated high levels of compassion for its community. Whether that’s a collective response to a natural disaster or an individual caring for a loved one. The Dalai Lama said if you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. While our search for knowledge and answers from scientists and academics creates more questions than answers, let’s not lose sight of a gift that promotes healing, alleviates suffering and is fundamentally human - COMPASSION.

10.01.2022 Think of taking small actions to increase physical activity in your day: park once and walk to different shops; a quick walk before work, at lunchtime or in evening; take the stairs when available; find an activity you enjoy like swimming or dancing; get a friend to move with you...

10.01.2022 ASLM conference 2020 just got even better!

10.01.2022 Dear patients, Due to the escalating transmission of Coronavirus, we must increase our efforts to reduce the infection rate in our community. As such, we are forced to limit patients in our waiting room area, as it can be a source of spread. These are necessary measures to keep you and everyone safe. As of today, we have no choice but to enforce social distancing measures. To help keep everyone safe, we ask you to use our phone consultation service as first line if you... are suffering from fever or any respiratory symptoms. Please only present to the practice if your health issues need to be critically addressed face-to-face or you are otherwise well and attending for management of a more physical or mental chronic issue, prescription renewal, etc. Please ring us on 55711694 if you are unsure or need additional advice. We will try to solve your acute health issues through the phone and if you are required to be seen face to face, we will advise you accordingly. Depending on your eligibility, based on the Government’s new criteria, your phone consult may be bulk-billed. If you are not eligible for the phone consult according to Medicare, then there may be a small private fee. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this important matter in these unprecedented times. Working together we will get through this challenging period. Please stay safe & take care of yourself by remembering to... 1. Actively practice social distancing 2. Frequent handwashing with soap & water for at least 20secs 3. Avoid touching the face 4. Regularly disinfecting viral hot spot areas/item eg phone, door handles, steering wheel, keys, wallet... 5. If sick at all, even with ‘just a cold’, isolate yourself from others & stay at home 6. Avoid unnecessary travel/commute 7. Eat well 8. Sleep well 9. Manage your stress 10. Connect with others by phone/ internet
