🌟 Celebrating Primary Care Nurses Day! 🌟

Did you know that over 98,000 primary care nurses across Australia are working tirelessly to support our health every day? From wound care and vaccinations to diagnostic screenings and blood tests, they’re the first line of defence in our healthcare system, ensuring that help is always there when we need it.

This Primary Care Nurses Day, let’s celebrate the incredible work of some unsung heroes in our community. Primary care nurses not only provide essential care, but they also build strong, lasting relationships with patients, empowering them to live healthier lives.

One of the programs supporting primary care nursing in our region is SNHN’s Nurse Transition Program. Over 80 nurses have successfully made the transition into primary care with tailored training and mentorship, enhancing the care we all rely on.

As Kerry McBride, Coordinator of the Nurse Transition Program, reflects: “For primary care nurses, every day is about building relationships with patients and supporting them on their health journeys. I love teaching and supporting nurses to achieve their best and watching them blossom with guidance and support. I’m proud to be part of a program that nurtures and supports nurses and enables the best outcomes for patients."

Let’s give a huge shoutout to all the primary care nurses who make a difference every single day! 🙌

We provide an extensive range of men’s health services, led by experienced GPs with a special interest in men’s health. Come and see us.

Anyone can experience anxiety at some point in their lives due to life’s stressors. It often causes feelings of intense worry, distress, or fear.

Panic attacks, on the other hand, are medically recognised episodes often accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, or nausea.

If anxiety is disrupting your daily life, our experienced GPs can help. We offer support for mental health conditions, with Medicare rebates covering up to 10 psychologist visits annually. 💙

👉 If you’re nervous talking about your mental health and would like to learn more, get in touch and we’ll answer any questions you may have: https://loom.ly/qJKU4K4

Many people often confuse UV index as heat and only apply sunscreen during hot weather.

However, UV rays are present year-round, making sunscreen essential whenever the UV index is 3 or higher. ☀️

Here in Mona Vale and in most places across Australia, UV levels typically peak in the afternoon. And that’s why we recommend applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every time you go outside to protect your skin.

👉 If you have questions about sun protection or need a regular skin cancer check, consult your local GP at Pittwater Family Practice: https://loom.ly/eAOijO4

There is probably nothing more annoying than a congested nose in winter, but there are simple ways to find relief and get back to feeling better.

👉 Inhale steam two to three times a day.
👉 Enjoy a hot soup of your choice to reduce congestion.
👉 Using a warm compress may help reduce any pain and relieve inflammation in the nose.

If your symptoms persist for longer than two weeks or if they worsen, get in touch with your GP at Pittwater Family Practice: https://loom.ly/qldbC5E
