✨ Diabetes Snapshot: 3 Early Signs You Might Miss

🔹 1. Constant Thirst & Frequent Urination
High blood sugar pulls fluid out of your tissues, making you feel thirsty all the time and running to the bathroom more often.

🔹 2. Unexplained Fatigue
Even if you’re sleeping well, diabetes can leave you feeling unusually tired because your body isn’t using sugar properly for energy.

🔹 3. Slow Healing or Frequent Infections
Small cuts, wounds, or skin infections taking longer than normal to heal can be an early red flag.

👉 Many people with diabetes don’t notice symptoms until the condition is advanced.

A simple blood test at your GP clinic can help detect it early — and early treatment makes all the difference.

🩺 New National Lung Cancer Screening Program! 🫁

From 1st July 2025, Australia has introduced a National Lung Cancer Screening Program aimed at detecting lung cancer earlier — when it’s most treatable.

If you’re an active smoker or an ex-smoker, you might be eligible for a low-radiation CT chest scan under this program.

✅ Cancer screening saves lives — by finding cancers before symptoms appear, treatment can be more effective and outcomes can be better.

📅 Book an appointment with our GPs today to check your eligibility and take the first step towards protecting your health.

📊 Alarming surge in hospital admissions!
In the last 2 months, both children and adults have been increasingly hospitalised with acute respiratory illnesses — mainly Influenza (predominantly Influenza A this year) and RSV, according to the Department of Health.

🤒 Even ‘just the flu’ can make you very sick.
🧪 If you’re unwell, ask your doctor about respiratory swabs and Tamiflu — an antiviral that can help shorten the length of your illness if started within 48 hours of symptoms (note: it’s not a cure, but it can help).

🏥 At our clinic, we do our best to fit you in same day or next day if you’re unwell.
📞 Call us at (08) 9359 0776 or book online via HotDoc or HealthEngine.

Stay safe and look after yourselves this winter! 🌿💙

🧴🌤 Why Winter is the Best Time for a Skin Check ❄️🩺

Did you know that winter is the ideal season to get your skin checked?

Here’s why:
✔️ Less tanning = clearer view of your skin for more accurate assessment
✔️ Easier to get an appointment – no peak season rush!
✔️ Early detection means we can treat spots before they worsen with sun exposure in summer
✔️ Winter gives time for treatment with topical creams like:
 🔸 Efudix (5-fluorouracil) – for early skin cancers
 🔸 Actikerall (5-FU + salicylic acid) – for sun-damaged skin
🔸These treatments usually run for 4–12 weeks and cause less irritation when sunlight exposure is minimal

👨‍⚕️ Book in with our leading skin doctor, Dr Rupinder Singh, who has extensive experience in skin cancer detection and management.
(Fee applies – please check with reception)

🧴⛅ Take advantage of the quieter season – your skin will thank you!
