If you’ve never had a skin check before, it’s normal to feel unsure about what to expect.

Skin checks are simple, thorough, and focused on early detection. They involve a full-body examination, close assessment of any spots using specialised tools, and care provided with privacy and professionalism throughout.

If anything requires further attention, your GP will guide you through the next steps, whether that’s monitoring, treatment, or referral.

If it’s been a while since your last check, or you’ve noticed a changing spot, booking a skin check is a simple way to stay on top of your health.

March is Melanoma awareness month. ☀️

In the hotter months Canberra can reach UV levels of 9 to 11+ which can damage unprotected skin in less than 15 minutes. With Australia's outdoor lifestyle and high UV levels, regular skin checks are an important part of preventive health for all of us.

At Wakefield Gardens Surgery, Dr Ferguson and Dr Sharma both provide comprehensive skin examinations as part of our whole-person GP care.

If you’ve noticed a changing spot or haven’t had a check in some time, now is a good time to book.

To find out more information or to read our latest resource on skin checks in Canberra, please head to wgs.net.au.

At Wakefield Gardens Surgery we understand that every menopause experience is unique, and symptoms can vary widely and change over time.

There are a range of evidence-based options available, including hormonal treatments, non-hormonal medications, and lifestyle strategies that can help support women through menopause and the changes that come with it.

Some women may experience:

• Hot flushes and night sweats
• Sleep disturbance
• Mood changes
• Vaginal dryness
• Brain fog and fatigue

If menopause symptoms are affecting your wellbeing, speaking with a GP can help you better understand the options available to you.
