🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀
This provides an opportunity for us all to focus on breast cancer and its impact on those affected by the disease in our community.

Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease. Remember you don’t need to be an expert or use a special technique to check your breasts.

Changes to look for include:
• a new lump or lumpiness, especially if it's only in one breast
• a change in the size or shape of your breast
• a change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion
• a nipple discharge that occurs without squeezing
• a change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling
• an unusual pain that doesn't go away.

Homeworld Helensvale Medical Centre wants to encourage women of all ages to self-check and become “breast aware”. If you notice any changes, make an appointment with your GP to discuss further testing. Phone 55806677 or book online at www.hwhmc.com.au

When did you last have your heart health checked?

The Heart Foundation is thrilled by announcement of a three-year extension to Medicare Heart Health Checks by the Australian Government, securing funding through to 30 June 2028.

This vital program - first introduced in 2019 following strong advocacy by the Heart Foundation and the broader heart health sector - has already led to over 870,000 Australians receiving a Heart Health Check.

The Heart Health Check is a 20-minute appointment with a GP to assess a person’s risk of heart attack or stroke and to support early, proactive steps to reduce risk factors like high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

This extension ensures more Australians can access preventive care that could save their lives. Read here for more information on Heart Health Checks 👉 https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/your-heart/heart-health-checks

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

We will be open tomorrow, but the number of patients we are able to see will depend on the capacity of our GPs and other staff who may be affected by flooding, debris and road closures. All booked appointments will remain in place, as long as our doctors are able to safely travel to the practice. Confirmation of appointments will be sent out in the morning, once we know the status of our staff. We thank you for your patience during this unprecedented weather event.

UPDATE: With Cyclone Alfred expected to now make landfall tomorrow sometime, our practice will remain closed tomorrow (Saturday) for the safety of our patients, staff and community. This is an evolving situation, with power outages, road blockages and local flooding already being experienced. We will keep the channels of communication open and adhere to directives by the relevant authorities. Our number one priority is to ensure that our patients and staff remain safe. We will keep you updated regarding our opening hours for Monday.
