As we step into a new year, Dr Langsford is prioritising a routine kidney and metabolic health review. Over 2.5 million Australians have chronic kidney disease without knowing about it. Having your blood pressure checked, routine metabolic tests checked, and a 2-minute screen for chronic kidney disease can make an enormous difference to preserving kidney function.
As a physician, he believes in practising what he encourages, with regular check-ins to help catch small changes early and support long-term wellbeing.
Dr Langsford’s wish for the season is that everyone takes a moment to pause and reflect upon all that we've done well this year and that we can be thankful for. Of course, there will be some appropriate holiday cheer, but please don't overdo it, and as we enjoy each other's company, make sure we look out for each other too.
Going into the New Year, his broader wish is that our community feels supported to put their health and wellbeing first and to reach out for help before things become urgent.
“Remember that wellbeing is not just physical, but also mental and spiritual, and there are many services and people in our community who are committed to helping us care for each other in all these important aspects of our lives.”
