With students back at school, this is an important reminder for parents to check that their child’s health action plan has been reviewed, updated, and provided to the school.

Plans for asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes, seizures, and other medical needs should always reflect current medications, doses, and care instructions. Schools depend on the latest version to respond appropriately if support is needed.

If your child’s plan hasn’t been updated yet — or there have been any recent changes — book a GP consultation as soon as possible and send the updated plan through to the school immediately.

A current action plan helps staff act quickly and confidently when it matters most.

At Hunters Hill Medical Practice, our nurses play a vital role in the health and wellbeing of our patients, working closely with our doctors to provide safe, high-quality, and compassionate care.

As part of your primary care team, our nurses manage a wide range of patient needs — from immunisations and wound care to ECGs, spirometry, health assessments, and emergency triage. Their skill, dedication, and personal approach ensure patients feel supported and cared for at every stage.

On Primary Health Care Nurses Day, we recognise and celebrate the incredible contribution of our nurses, whose work is essential to the health of our community.

Each year in Australia, around 1,900 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer—and in many cases, it’s detected at an advanced stage, when treatment is more complex.

That’s why education and early action matter.

Ovarian cancer symptoms can be subtle and persistent, including bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, changes in appetite, or urinary changes. If something doesn’t feel right or symptoms don’t go away, it’s important to trust your instincts and speak with your GP.

Early investigation can make a difference.
This February, let’s raise awareness, encourage conversations, and empower women to seek care sooner.

Medicines help when used correctly — but when stored or disposed of improperly, they can pose serious risks, especially for children.

Simple steps to keep your household safe:
• Store medications out of sight and reach of children
• Use child-resistant containers and keep lids securely closed
• Never leave medicines on benches, bedside tables or in handbags
• Dispose of expired or unused medications safely at your local pharmacy

🚫 Avoid flushing medicines or throwing them in household waste unless advised — safe disposal protects both people and the environment.

🚨 In an emergency:
Call Triple Zero (000) immediately if someone has been exposed to a harmful substance and stops breathing, collapses, has a seizure, or shows signs of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

📞 For urgent medication advice:
If a child or adult may have taken the wrong medicine or dose, contact the Poisons Information Line on 13 11 26.
Available 24/7 for expert guidance.

At Hunters Hill Medical Practice, we encourage patients to ask questions about their medications — understanding how to store and use them safely is just as important as taking them correctly.

As most schools head back next week, now is a good time to check that your child’s health plans are up to date.

If your child has asthma or allergies, preparation can make a real difference at school.

Things to check before term starts:
• Is your asthma action plan current?
• Is your allergy action plan updated and shared with the school?
• Do you have a new, in-date EpiPen ready for school and after-school care?
• Are relievers, spacers or medications clearly labelled?

Asthma and allergic reactions can change over time, and regular reviews help ensure children are protected and confident at school.

At Hunters Hill Medical Practice, GPs can review and update asthma and allergy action plans and help families prepare for the school year ahead.

A little preparation now can help keep the school year on track.

After the holiday season, many people notice changes in their weight — but weight is influenced by far more than occasional indulgence alone. Factors such as metabolism, medical conditions, medications and lifestyle all play a role.

Your GP can support you by:
• Screening for underlying or related health conditions
• Assessing overall health risks and contributing factors
• Discussing evidence-based options tailored to your individual needs

Support may include:
• Non-medication approaches such as referral to a dietitian or exercise physiologist
• Practical, sustainable lifestyle strategies
• Consideration of medical treatment options where appropriate

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. The focus is on long-term health, not quick fixes.

At Hunters Hill Medical Practice, we take a respectful, whole-person approach to weight and wellbeing.

Skin tears can happen to anyone, especially older adults or those with fragile skin. If a skin tear occurs, come in as soon as possible to see our nurses.

Quick action matters:
✔️ Reposition the flap correctly: Putting the skin flap back in the right way early increases flap survival.
✔️ Minimise wound size: Proper early care reduces wound deficit.
✔️ Faster healing: Less damage means fewer dressings and quicker recovery.

Our trained nurses are here to treat skin tears safely and effectively, helping you recover faster and avoid complications.

Don’t wait – prompt care makes all the difference!
