21.01.2022 The festive season is just around the corner although sadly it's not so festive or fun for everyone. So this year Wyong Family Practice have started a "WISH TREE" and with your help we would like to bring a little bit of joy back. All gifts donated this year are going to our local FACS office where they will be distributed to the children currently in care and families doing it tough. If you could spare a little something for someone please drop it in to our tree wrapped with a tag attached stating Girl or Boy and age intended for. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your kindness and from our families to yours wishing a bright and merry christmas to all....

16.01.2022 November is Movember Movember is dedicated to men's health. In particular, mental health and suicide prevention, together with prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 6 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. We can all take action for men to live healthier, happier and longer lives.... During November, we are reminding men to talk to their GP about their health, including mental health. Encourage the men in your life to talk. Movember is a great time to start that conversation. #movember2020

12.01.2022 Across the world, 3 out of 4 suicides are men. Asking, listening and being there for your friends can be lifesaving. If you need a hand having a conversation with someone who's going through a tough time, use the ALEC guide. A.SK - Ask the question... L.ISTEN - Listen, without judgement or distractions E.NCOURAGE - Encourage action C.HECK - Check in Have open conversations with the men in your life. Encourage them to talk to their GP. If we all dig a little deeper, we can help prevent more men from reaching a crisis point. #movember2020 #RUOK?

03.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Over the course of your lifetime, there are many factors that can influence your risk of breast cancer, such as: getting older having a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer... genetic factors Whilst some of these risk factors cannot be changed, you can still aim to reduce the risk of breast cancer through making healthy lifestyle choices. For example: Alcohol - drinking alcohol increases your risk for breast cancer. The more you drink, the greater the increase in risk. Body weight keeping to a healthy weight range reduces the risk of breast cancer. Physical activity - be active at least 30 mins each day to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Review your needs regularly with your doctor. Breastfeeding - can reduce the risk of breast cancer.
