It's getting hot out there! Stay well and hydrated, all.

The ACT is currently experiencing heatwave conditions, which are expected to continue across the week. ☀️

If you are attending one of the many events in the Canberra region this weekend, please take extra care.

Here are some simple things you can do to stay healthy in the heat:

💧Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

☕️ Slow down on the caffeine, alcohol, and energy drinks - they can dehydrate you.

😎 Be sun smart - wear a hat and sunglasses, use SPF 30 (or higher) sunscreen, and seek out shade where you can.

🫶 Check on others, especially those at increased risk of heat-related illness like babies and young children, people over 65, anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, people with medical conditions, and people with disability or additional needs.

Be on the lookout for early symptoms of heat-related illness, including headaches, dizziness, fainting, nausea, and vomiting.

If you or someone in your care becomes very unwell from heat-related illness:

* Call Healthdirect on 1800 022 222 for 24/7 health advice

* Contact your GP

* In an emergency call triple zero (000) or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

For more information and advice, visit: www.act.gov.au/health and search ‘summer safety’.

Great advice for this upcoming weather and smoke conditions from ACT Government Health and Community Services

Heads up Canberra, smoke from a major bushfire burning near the VIC/NSW border is approaching the ACT. 🔥💨

There are currently no active fires impacting the Canberra region. Bushfires in the Namadgi National Park earlier in the week are at patrol status and not producing any smoke.

Individuals with respiratory conditions, or those affected by smoke, are advised to remain indoors and close windows until the situation clears.

Call Triple-Zero (000) if you see an unattended fire, or in a life-threatening emergency.

We are very pleased that our conversion to our new practice software was successful. It's the first swap in over 20 years! The only thing that is not yet hooked up properly is HotDoc - this should be online soon.

Please be patient with our team as they learn the ropes and thanks to everyone for coming in today for training.

A big thanks to Dr Martin Liedvogel and our IT guru Lloyd for pulling huge hours over the weekend, too.

Business will resume as normal tomorrow, Tuesday 11th November. Thank you for your understanding!
