The festive period is full of fun, travel, late nights, and rich food, which can be a lot for your body and mind.

To stay well, try to:
☀️ Drink water regularly
☀️Use sun protection
☀️ Enjoy balanced meals between festive treats
☀️ Keep alcohol in moderation
☀️ Take medications as directed
☀️ Make time for rest and recovery

It is just as important to check in on your emotional wellbeing and those around you. The holidays can feel heavy for some, and staying connected truly matters.

If you need a little extra support or want to start the new year feeling your best, book an appointment with your GP today.

Hot weather can drain your body faster than you realise, especially in summer when fluid loss happens quickly.

Early signs of dehydration include thirst, fatigue, dizziness, headache, dark urine, and a dry mouth. More serious symptoms may include confusion, muscle cramps, or fainting and should never be ignored.

Protect yourself and your family by sipping water throughout the day, seeking shade or air conditioning, wearing light clothing, and avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest hours.

Feeling off or unsure? Book an appointment with your GP for support and peace of mind.

Did you know all of our doctors are members of the RACGP? And are specialist-GPs (or in specialty training to become fellows)
So what does that mean?

This means they have completed a minimum of :
- a medical degree at university- often a postgraduate degree after doing an undergraduate degree as well (to become a doctor)- but its not done there!!
Then-
- a minimum of 2-3 years in hospitals as a junior doctor and resident medical officer
- three years in resident training and three big exams to ensure they meet the quality to be recognised and admitted to the college as a vocationally registered fellow of the RACGP.
- ongoing education after fellowship to ensure recency (at least 50 hours a year)

Its pretty special. And we are really proud of all of our doctors.
The time, knowledge and dedication it takes to get to this point and be able to care for their community is incredible!

Give yourself the gift of health this festive season by booking a regular check-up with your trusted family doctor.

The silly season has started and this month we will be bringing you a range of tips from your friendly local GPs! Keep checking our feed and stories for advice to help you prioritise your health and wellbeing in the lead up to Christmas.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, but early detection makes treatment far more successful.

Regular skin checks help catch changes before they become serious. If you have noticed a new spot, a changing mole, or simply have not had a check in a while, this is your sign to take action.

Swipe through to see what to look for and when to book a check.
A simple appointment can bring clarity and peace of mind.
