🌍 World Cancer Day – 4 February

World Cancer Day is a global initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), bringing people together to raise awareness, improve education, and inspire action to reduce the global impact of cancer.

Today reminds us that everyone deserves access to life-saving cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and care—no matter who they are or where they live.

At our practice, we support efforts that promote prevention, early diagnosis, and equitable healthcare for all.

Together, through individual and collective action, we can help imagine a future without cancer.

🔔 Tinnitus Awareness Week | 2–8 February

Living with tinnitus can be an isolating and distressing experience. With one in three Australians affected by some degree of tinnitus, it can significantly impact day-to-day life, sleep, concentration, and overall mental health and wellbeing.

Tinnitus, often called ringing in the ears, is a hearing condition where people hear noises, hisses or hums that are not present in the real world.

During Tinnitus Awareness Week (2–8 February), we encourage awareness, understanding, and open conversations about tinnitus. Support, management strategies, and medical guidance can make a real difference.

If tinnitus is affecting your quality of life, please speak with your GP—we’re here to help.

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month (OCAM)—a time to raise awareness, advocate, and shine a spotlight on the most lethal women’s cancer in Australia.

For too long, ovarian cancer has been overlooked and underfunded. Survival rates have barely improved in decades, and urgent attention and action are needed to change this.

Read, learn, and share information about ovarian cancer this February to help change the future for generations of women and girls.

🧡 World Leprosy Day – Raising Awareness & Promoting Compassion 🧡

World Leprosy Day, observed on the last Sunday in January, is an important opportunity to raise awareness about leprosy (Hansen’s disease), challenge stigma, and highlight the importance of early detection and treatment.

Leprosy is an ancient and often misunderstood disease, but it is curable, especially when diagnosed early. This day encourages us to educate ourselves, support ongoing efforts to eliminate the disease, and promote inclusion for individuals and communities affected.

Let’s use this day to spread understanding, compassion, and hope—because every person deserves dignity, care, and respect. 🌍✨
