National Stroke Week (4-10 August) encourages the community to know the F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech and Time) signs of stroke so that they can save a life in the event of a loved one experiencing a stroke.

Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:

❗Face - Check their face. Has their mouth drooped or is it numb? Can the person smile or is it uneven?

❗Arms - Can they lift both arms? Is one arm weak or numb, or does one arm drift downward?

❗Speech - Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?

❗Time - Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away. Note the time when any of the symptoms first appear?

A stroke is always a medical emergency. Keep looking at your mum, dad, love and mates, it could save their life.

22/07/2025

Medicare-subsidised lung cancer screening is now available for eligible Australians, through the National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP).

In most cases in Australia, by the time lung cancer is diagnosed, the cancer has already spread beyond the lungs, and when it is in late stages. The program aims to detect lung cancer early, which means patients can access more effective treatment options.

You may be eligible if you:
🔹 Are aged 50–70
🔹 Have no symptoms of lung cancer
🔹 Are currently smoking, have a history of 30 pack-years of smoking or quit within the last 10 years

Have a chat with your GP about a lung cancer screening. They can calculate your pack-years and provide a referral. Book an appointment 👉 cookshill.ipn.com.au
