✨ Mid-Year Momentum at The Crane GP! ✨

We recently gathered for our whole clinic mid-year meeting – and we were thrilled to have 100% attendance from our GPs, nurses, receptionists and management team! 💯

Instead of long presentations, we turned up the energy with a quiz (buzzers, points & prizes included!) to refresh our knowledge of clinic policies and procedures – because consistency matters when caring for our patients. 🏆

We revisited our Vision: “A team that knows you, cares for you and walks with you – for life”, our Values (Care, Consistency & Community) and our mindset:
➡️ Playing the infinite game to be better version of ourselves
➡️ Controlling our response, even when we can’t control circumstances

Our chronic disease nurse, Aminee, also shared valuable insights from APNA’s Festival of Nursing in Brisbane, helping us keep patient experience front of mind. 🙌

We wrapped up with a fire drill to keep safety sharp, and everyone went home with a colourful pair of socks to keep warm and cosy. We left motivated, connected and ready for the next 6 months – fuelled by the amazing culture we’ve built together. 💛🧦

🌿 Bush Wisdom in the Coffee Queue
By Dr Hwuei Lim, Principal GP

This week, I’m back in Broken Hill doing my regular stint at the local Aboriginal Medical Service. On Saturday morning, I joined the queue at a popular café - ten people ahead of me. I’ll admit, I was tempted to scroll through my overflowing inbox while I waited.

Instead, I paused. I looked around and noticed a book on the shelf titled Bush Wisdom. Curious, I opened it - and I’m glad I did.

The book, by Australian writer and photographer Jessica Howard, is full of stories from rural Australians, rich with grounded life lessons. It features real local bush characters, and reminded me that sometimes, inspiration finds you when you simply choose to be present.

With so much happening in the world, it was a gentle nudge to come back to what’s close to home. If you come across this book, I hope it brings you the same spark it brought me.

✨ Being present is, in itself, an act of self-care. As International Self-Care Day approaches on 24 July, it’s a good time to check in with yourself - physically, mentally, emotionally. If you’ve been meaning to book a health check or talk to someone, our GPs are here for you.

🩺🍭 National Diabetes Week at The Crane GP 🍭🩺

This winter, our nurses are keeping it real about sugar and your health.
👩‍⚕️ Nurse Aminee’s holding the temptation…
🙅‍♀️ Nurse Paola’s giving it a BIG NO!

Nearly 1 in 5 Aussies over 25 have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes - and many don’t know it.

🧠💬 Comfort eating is real (especially in winter!), but if food is your main coping strategy, it might be time for a reset - body, mind, and mood.

✨ Book in for your health check:
✅ Bulk-billed once in a lifetime 45–49 year old health check (30 mins with nurse + 30 mins with GP)
✅ Annual check-ups for everyone
✅ HbA1c blood tests for diabetes risk
✅ Chronic Condition Management Plans & 3-monthly reviews for diabetics

Don’t wait for symptoms. Prevention starts now.

🖤💛❤️ NAIDOC Week 2025: The Next Generation

This week we celebrate NAIDOC Week, honouring the strength, vision, and legacy of our First Nations peoples. ✨

In this photo, Dr Hwuei stands with Balgo artist Dulcie Nanala, holding one of her stunning paintings telling the story of the land around her home in the Kimberley, WA. 🎨🌾

At The Crane GP, we recognise that health and culture are deeply connected. Our GPs continue to walk alongside First Nations communities, working with Aboriginal Medical Services in Melbourne, Broken Hill, and Broome to support accessible, culturally safe healthcare for all.

May we listen, learn, and stand together to build a healthier future.

Happy NAIDOC Week. 🖤💛❤️

🌟Farewell and Congratulations, Carlos! 🌟

We are so delighted to share that Carlos, our much-loved 4cyte Pathology collector, has been promoted to Team Leader at 4cyte Headquarters!

Many of you will know Carlos for his warm smile, gentle blood collection skills, and welcoming presence at The Crane GP. We have loved having him – and his family – as part of our community.

While 4cyte organises a new long-term collector for our clinic, there will be temporary collectors covering his role. Thank you for your understanding during this transition.

Please join us in wishing Carlos all the very best in his new role. We are so proud of him and grateful for the care he has given our patients over the years.

💛 Te deseamos lo mejor, Carlos!

🌌 Starry Skies & Steamy Springs - A Winter Wellbeing Reminder from Hwuei, our Principal GP

Over the weekend I hiked Cape Schanck under a sky full of stars, followed by a long soak at the hot springs with a dear friend. ✨💧

It was the perfect reminder that even in winter, nature + connection = medicine.

As we celebrate World Wellbeing Week (24–30 June), here’s your gentle nudge: make space for the small things that refill your cup. A walk, a chat, a breath of cold air - it all counts.

And if you're feeling off balance, you're not alone. We're here to support your wellbeing - body, mind, and heart.

📲 Book online or via the AMS Connect app.
