More than 2.5 million Australians are living with signs of kidney disease. This Kidney Action Week (1-7 July), Kidney Health Australia is calling all Aussies to take kidney disease seriously by understanding their risk of getting this incurable disease.

Waiting for symptoms to appear is too late - people can lose 90 per cent of kidney function without experiencing any symptoms. Taking a simple two-minute test can help identify if someone is at increased risk of kidney disease and if so, provide the next steps such as seeing your GP and having a kidney health check.

Dear Patients,
I just wanted to update you! I have added a button called a 'widget' to the main page of our website which you can click on to 'Book Appointment'. We still have our bookings page on our website but this added addition is just a short cut to access the Hot Doc bookings page. Your assistance in booking your appointments directly through HotDoc is helping our reception staff greatly. Warmest regards,
Jenny, Practice Manager

Tomorrow Tuesday 10 September is World Su***de Prevention Day. This year's theme of 'changing the narrative on su***de' aims to inspire individuals, communities, organisations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about su***de and suicidal behaviour. By initiating vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support. Please go to https://www.iasp.info/wspd/ for more information on how you can change the narrative.

If you or someone you know needs help right now,
please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Su***de Call Back Service on 1300 659 467.

R U OK? Day is also next week but just a reminder that you can ask someone R U OK? any day.

In the time it takes to have a cuppa, you could start a conversation that could change a life.

APPOINTMENT BOOKINGS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR WEBSITE WWW.MIVOPARKHEALTH.COM.AU

On this beautiful sunny day I wanted to let you all know I have made a positive change to improve the way in which you can make an appointment utilising HotDoc.

I have now added a 'Bookings' Tab to our website, www.mivoparkhealth.com.au and all you need to do is click on the
green coloured 'Book appointment' Tab and it will take you to the bookings or go to; www.mivoparkhealth.com.au/bookings and it will take you directly to the bookings page.

Please be advised that we are no longer taking new patients online. If you are a new patient you will need to fill in a registration form and the doctor will need to approve the form. This process takes 24-48 hours.

I am sure you are all aware that our phone lines are very busy and Kellie, Sandra, Tanea and I are always working hard to get to your call, but with the assistance of HotDoc you can make yourself an appointment anytime 24/7.

Have a great weekend!

Warmest regards,
Jenny
