Add value 🤩

As we enter the last few months of the year, reflect back and think about things that add value. If something isn’t adding value - meaning it doesn’t benefit you or your life then it’s time to change course.

With this in mind, your goals and attitude will be in a much better place by the time 2026 rings in.

Is your little one up to date?

Baby and infant check ups are recommended at various ages along with immunisations. By examining your little one we can make sure they are reaching their milestones and growing appropriately. This helps to identify any potential issues early so that they can be addressed in a timely manner.

If you’re up to date with your check ups but have concerns about your infant's growth pop by and see me in clinic.

Hello Sunshine 😎🌞

Sunshine is a great source of vitamin D which is essential for bone health, the immune system, mood regulation and much more.

However, the sun can also be damaging for the skin, contributing to skin cancers,
ageing and wrinkles. So if your tempted to bask in the sun, always make sure that you are sun protected with the use of protective clothing, sunscreen of at least SPF30 and avoiding the peak times between 10am-3pm.

Back to Uni 📚🤓

I am delighted to have been offered to study for a PhD at Bond University. My topic of research will be looking at how Artificial Intelligence can be used in General Practice to improve healthcare outcomes.

Drawing on my passion for private and ethical use of patient data, the research will help to shape future policy around the use of AI in medicine.

Alongside my studies, I will continue to practice clinical medicine and you can follow along with my progress on these channels.

Let me know below if you have any thoughts on the topic.

In a quiet moment, I picked up Better, a book exploring excellence in medicine and overcoming challenges that are met. One chapter highlights three qualities essential for performing well:

📚 Diligence - attention to detail matters deeply.
📚 Doing Right - aligning actions with ethics and purpose.
📚 Ingenuity - thinking creatively through reflection and curiosity.

While these principles are rooted in medicine, I also think they can be applied in life to improve our outlook and successes.

What do you think?

Bad Breath? 😮‍💨

Whilst having a bad breath can be normal from time to time, especially after eating strong foods like garlic and onions. Sometimes it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition especially if it isn’t going away despite your best measures. Here are some causes of bad breath that need addressing with a doctor:

- Diabetes increases the risk of gum disease which can cause bad breath. However, having a fruity breath smell can also mean you have a medical emergency called ketoacidosis.
- Reflux disease, this causes stomach acid to leak back into your gullet and sometimes your mouth.
- Kidney or liver disease can also be a culprit.
- Smoking changes the balance of microbes in your mouth and can increase the risk of oral health issues.
- Poor oral hygiene such as gum disease and plaque formation can contribute to bad smells.

So, if you can’t shake the smell, be sure to see your local doctor for a check up.

Sleep is one of the most powerful tools for your health 😴

Good quality sleep is essential for keeping your brain, body, and mood in top shape. While you sleep, your body works hard at repairing tissues, balancing hormones, boosting immunity and consolidating memories. Consistently missing out can lead to problems like low mood, poor concentration, weakened immunity, and even an increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

To help you get the most from your nightly recharge:

* Stick to a regular sleep routine
* Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet
* Limit caffeine and screen time before bed
* Make time for winding down with relaxing activities

If you are struggling to get a good night’s rest, pop by and see me in clinic for more tips.

A gateway to your health 😬

Did you know that your mouth says more about your health than just your smile?

Your teeth and gums are closely connected to your general health. Research shows that neglecting oral care can lead not only to cavities, but also increases risks of chronic health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. This is due to harmful bacteria travelling through the body from the mouth causing inflammation.

To help improve your oral hygiene, be sure to:
- Have regular dental check ups and cleans
- Brush teeth twice daily and floss
- Eat a healthy balanced diet and reduce sugary drinks
- Quit smoking.

A healthy smile isn’t just cosmetic, it’s clinical.
