☀️ Feeling the heat already? 🥵 Don’t forget — dehydration sneaks up fast!
💧 Keep your water bottle handy
🍉 Choose juicy snacks (hello, watermelon season!)
🧢 Wear a hat and slap on that SPF
If you start feeling dizzy, tired, or get a headache, take a break and cool down — your body will thank you!

The Great November Debate:
🎶 Half the team says “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”
🎄 The other half (Kerry) says “It’s beginning to look a lot like too soon.”

We’re forming a strategic alliance to sway her with cookies, carols, and maybe emotional blackmail. 🍪🎅

Stay tuned for updates.

🎉🏏 WELCOME BACK, DR PAREEK! 🏏🎉
We’re thrilled to announce that Dr Prashant Pareek has returned to EFMC after two years in Adelaide — and we couldn’t be happier to have him back!

He’ll be with us in November, and then returning full-time early next year.

For those who remember him, you’ll know he’s an absolute legend… and a complete cricket tragic 🏏😉
(Perfect timing too — plenty of cricket on this summer!)

Please join us in giving Dr Pareek a huge, warm FNQ welcome home!

🚨 An anonymous staff member (definitely not Doug Upp) was caught trying to sneak a single Christmas bauble onto the front desk this morning.

The bauble has been confiscated pending Kerry’s official approval. 🎄
Public support is growing — we may have a movement on our hands.

We’ve officially entered the “Is it too soon for Christmas decorations?” debate again 🎅✨
Doug says “Yes!”
Kerry says “Not until November’s over!”
Doug Upp says it’s never too early for Christmas cheer — or baubles. 🎁

He’s currently standing in the treatment room wearing a Santa hat, staring meaningfully at Kerry’s office door.

Should we back him up, or is it too soon to risk festive mutiny? 😆

💙🌍 Today we’re shining a light on diabetes awareness — because knowledge truly is power! ⚡

Did you know?
👣 1 in 10 adults worldwide has diabetes

Whether you’re living with diabetes or want to prevent it, our team at EFMC is here to help with:
✔️ Blood sugar checks
✔️ Health plans tailored to you
✔️ Ongoing support and advice

Let’s work together for a healthier future — one small step (and one less sugary snack 😅) at a time!

🌸🤧 Hay fever got you sniffling? You’re not alone!
Sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose — the works.
🌸 Keep windows closed on windy days
🌸 Shower after being outdoors
🌸 Check with your GP for the best allergy relief
Let’s survive spring together — tissue by tissue! 😂

Today, the team at EFMC takes a moment to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served our country.

At 11am, we pause together — remembering, reflecting and giving thanks. 🙏
We are grateful for their bravery and we hope to pass on the lessons of courage, peace and respect to the next generation.

Lest we forget. 💙

💙🎉 Big news from the Kresevic clan — Anthony and Kerry are grandparents! 👶💫

Welcome to the world, Theodore Kresevic — 3 weeks old and already turning everyone’s plans upside down! Supposed to be a girl? Surprise! 💙😆 Looks like little Teddy had other ideas.

Proud parents Matthew and Amelia are absolutely smitten, and as for Kerry and Anthony — well, they are completely besotted! 🥹 Their hearts have exploded with pride and love for this beautiful little bubba. 💕 They're showing photos, grinning from ear to ear, and arguing (lovingly) over who he looks more like.

They haven’t quite decided what they’ll be called yet — Grandma and Grandpa? Nonna and Pop? Glammy and Gramps? The debate continues… 😂

We’re so thrilled for this beautiful new chapter — overflowing with love, cuddles and a whole lot of baby joy. 💙
