💙 Healthy Heart Week 💙

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on heart health and the small steps we can all take to keep our hearts strong.

Heart disease remains one of the leading health concerns in Australia, but the good news is that many risk factors can be managed with simple lifestyle changes.

Here are a few ways to support a healthy heart:
❤️ Stay active – aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days
🥗 Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
🚭 Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake
🩺 Keep up with regular check-ups at your GP to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall health
😌 Manage stress and prioritise good sleep

Your general practice team is here to support you. Whether it’s a routine heart health check or advice on lifestyle changes, don’t hesitate to take action.

📞 Book your Heart Health Check today: 8178 0087

Let’s work together to keep our hearts healthy 💙

We’re pleased to let families know that FluMist (nasal flu vaccine) is now available at our clinic for young children 💙

FluMist is a gentle, needle-free flu vaccine given as a quick nasal spray, making it a great option for children who may feel anxious about injections. It helps protect against influenza and reduces the risk of serious illness during flu season.

Annual flu vaccination is strongly recommended for children, as they are more likely to catch and spread the virus. Protecting them also helps safeguard your family and the wider community.

If you’d like to learn more or check if FluMist is suitable for your child, please contact our team to book an appointment on 8178 0087 .

Flu vaccinations for this year have now arrived at our clinic 💉

Influenza is more than just a bad cold — it can lead to serious complications, especially for young children, older adults, pregnant women, and those with underlying health conditions. Getting your annual flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and help prevent the spread within our community.

Even if you’re generally healthy, vaccination reduces your risk of getting sick, missing work, or passing the virus on to family members and vulnerable people around you.

Appointments are now available. Contact our team to book your flu vaccination today Tel: 8178 0087

Stay well this season 🌿

🌟 Meet the Team 🌟

Hi everyone 😊

I’m Saba, one of the Registered Nurses here at Blackwood Medical Centre. I really enjoy working in the clinic, meeting new people, and helping our patients feel comfortable and well cared for.

I have experience working as a Registered Nurse in oncology overseas, and later in Australia in aged care and at the RAH. It’s so lovely to now be part of this amazing team—it truly feels like the right place for me.

Outside of work, I love trying new recipes and spending time outdoors with my family.

I look forward to seeing you around the clinic 😊

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Welcoming Our Medical Students

We are delighted to welcome Year 3, 5, and 6 medical students at Blackwood Family Medical Centre as part of their clinical training.

These future doctors are gaining valuable hands-on experience as they progress through their medical degrees and will be spending time with our GPs and healthcare team to further develop their clinical knowledge and skills. During their placement, you may see them sitting in during consultations or assisting our doctors under supervision.

Our practice is proud to support the training of the next generation of doctors, and we thank our wonderful patients for helping create such a welcoming and supportive learning environment.

Please join us in making them feel welcome during their time with us. 😊

☀️ Melanoma March – Protect Your Skin, Protect Your Health ☀️

March is Melanoma Awareness Month, a timely reminder of the importance of protecting your skin and checking for changes. Australia has one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world, but early detection can save lives.

Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that can develop from a new spot or an existing mole. The good news is that when detected early, treatment is often very effective.

What can you do to protect yourself?
🧴 Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily
👒 Wear a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing
🌳 Seek shade, especially between 10am–4pm
🔍 Regularly check your skin for new or changing spots

Know the signs:
Look for moles or spots that change in size, shape, or colour, or anything that looks different from the rest. If you notice something unusual, it’s important to have it checked by your GP.

Our doctors are here to help with skin checks and advice on skin cancer prevention. Early detection really can make all the difference.

📞 Contact the clinic to book your skin check today.
