Did you know it’s recommended everyone gets an eye test every 2 years… even if you think you can see just fine!
Some people may even need an earlier review

Remember that early detection is key 👁️ 👁️

Is your little one starting school or childcare this year?
Have you remembered to update their Asthma action plan?

What is a Written Asthma Action Plan?
An Asthma Action Plan is like an instruction manual for your asthma written by your doctor. Everyone with asthma should have an Asthma Action Plan, no matter how old you are or how mild your asthma might feel. It’s your guide on how to manage your asthma and what to do if you do have a flare-up or asthma attack. 

Why you need a Written Asthma Action Plan
An Asthma Action Plan is one of the most useful asthma tools we have.
It sets out your important asthma information in a way that is easy to follow to help manage your asthma. It is a valuable reminder of what to do in case your asthma gets out of control.

How often should an Asthma Action Plan be reviewed?
Be sure to ask your doctor to update your Asthma Action Plan whenever asthma medicines or your symptoms change. Otherwise, your doctor should check it:
once a year for adults or
every six months for children.

🌞 Staying Safe in Extreme Heat 🌞

With the hot weather we’ve been experiencing, we hope all of our patients are keeping as cool and comfortable as possible. Extreme heat can take a toll on your health, so here are a few simple tips to stay safe:

💧 Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
🕶️ Avoid the hottest part of the day – Try to stay indoors between 11am and 4pm where possible.
🏠 Keep cool indoors – Use air conditioning or fans, close blinds, and take cool showers.
👕 Dress for the heat – Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and a hat when outside.
🚗 Never leave children or pets in cars – Even for a few minutes, cars can heat up dangerously fast.
⚠️ Know the warning signs – Dizziness, headaches, nausea, and fatigue can be signs of heat stress. Seek medical help if symptoms worsen.

Please take care of yourselves and check in on elderly family members, neighbours, and anyone who may be more vulnerable in this heat.

Stay safe and cool 💙
