23.01.2022 We are so proud of Dr Elly - all those thousands of kms she has ridden, thousands of dollars she has raised and the important message she is spreading!

23.01.2022 PERINATAL DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY WEEK || With many expecting and new parents struggling due to COVID-19, it’s critical that we work together to support families facing mental health challenges at this time Perinatal mental illnesses like anxiety and depression are common and can be serious. One in five expecting or new mothers and one in ten expecting or new fathers will experience anxiety and/or depression, affecting around 100,000 families across Australia every year. It’s... important for expecting and new parents who are worried about their emotional and mental wellbeing to seek support. They can speak with a trusted health professional such as a doctor or family health nurse, or call PANDA’s free National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline. PANDA’s National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline 1300 726 306 9am 7.30pm Mon Friday (AEST/AEDT). The Helpline is also open from now until the end of February 2021 on Saturdays 9am 7.30pm. https://www.panda.org.au #pandaweek2020 #tellsomeonewhocares #perinataldepressionandandanxiety #support #generalpractice #yourfamilydoctors

21.01.2022 Dr Elly and Dr Georgia popped into the Star 104.5 FM studios over the weekend to talk Cancer for Customs 4 Cancer. As GP’s, we follow patients through their cancer journey from screening tests, to diagnosis, and provide support during and after treatment. We see how important screening and early detection of cancer is, and the advances in research and treatment that have been made. This would not be possible without the wonderful fundraising efforts of the community and CUST...OMS4CANCER are not only passionate about raising $1 million for the Cancer Council Australia but also spreading the health message out there too. Don’t delay your cancer screening!

20.01.2022 HAPPY COVID FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN || NSW Health supports individuals participating in COVID-safe Halloween celebrations, providing levels of community transmission remain low and participants follow current rules when gathering together. Help us stop the spread this Halloween. COVID-safe tips if you plan to trick-or-treat NSW Health recommends: * If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 this Halloween, stay home and give trick-or-treating a miss this year. Get tested immed...iately * Keep it local by staying in your suburb rather than going to well-known treat streets that attract crowds * Celebrate outside, don’t go to people’s front door * Stay in small household groups rather than groups of young people together. Remember, no more than 30 people can gather outside in a public place * Stay 1.5 meters away from people you don’t live with * Only take treats that are individually wrapped. * Don’t share your treats with others from different households * Don’t share costumes or costume face masks * Carry hand sanitiser with you and use it often, especially after touching common surfaces.

19.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING, NUTRITION AND LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF || Often breastfeeding Mums neglect their own nutrition through lack of ‘time’ to care for themselves whilst looking after their newborn and other family members. This is often to the detriment of their own health and a few simple principles can improve their health and their chances of continuing to breastfeed successfully and healthily for themselves and baby. Please read more in Dr Nat’s article in our blog....... https:...//yourfamilydoctors.com.au/breastfeeding-nutrition-a/ #breastfeeding #nutrition #selfcare #parenthood #lookingafteryourself #Generalpractice #yourfamilydoctors

19.01.2022 LUNG CANCER AWARENESS MONTH || Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in Australia with around 12,000 people diagnosed in Australia each year.

The signs and symptoms of lung cancer can include: * a new cough that has persisted for 3 weeks or more * a changed cough * coughing up blood... * a chest infection that won’t go away * chest pain and/or shoulder pain * shortness of breath * hoarse voice * weight loss or loss of appetite Please see your doctor if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.

16.01.2022 The latest edition of On The Coast Over 55 is out now! This month Dr Georgia writes about OSTEOPOROSIS AND FRACTURES.

It mainly affects people over the age of 50 when bones loose minerals such as calcium faster than the body can replace them resulting in reduced bone thickness (also known as bone density). 2/3 of Australian’s over 50 have poor bone health.

02.01.2022 MOVEMBER AND MENS HEALTH || This November it time to focus on those important blokes out there! Men die an average six years younger than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable. Movember is about creating awareness of men’s health issues in particular prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Did you know testicular cancer is the second most common cancer in young men after skin cancer? Just like women should be breast aware for... early detection of breast cancer - men need to ‘get to know their nuts’ also and if they notice any changes to come and see their doctor. So to all you awesome blokes out there - I’m sure your car is up to date with its regular service - what about are you? Come have a chat to your friendly GP about your physical and mental health. https://au.movember.com/mens-health/general #movember #menshealth #menshealthcheck #prostatecancer #testicularcancer #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #preventativehealth #earlydetection #yourfamilydoctors #generalpractice
