Looks like the elves are up to mischief all over SA. Please all enjoy yourselves over this festive period, but be safe at it, especially if you're out and about on the roads. Plan ahead and celebrate responsibly.

It only takes one bad decision to move you from Santa’s nice list to the naughty list, and nobody wants that!📝

If you plan on enjoying a few festive drinks this Christmas, here’s how to stay on the nice list:
✔️If you plan on drinking, drink responsibly. Pace yourself and remember alcohol effects everyone differently, so know your limits and make smart choices.
✔️Plan ahead. Organise a sober driver, carpool or seek alternative transport.
✔️Be aware the next morning. If drinking the night before, you may still be over the limit. Give yourself enough time to recover before driving.
✔️Look out for your friends and loved ones. If someone is impaired, help them arrange a sober ride home.

All we want for Christmas is for everyone to get home safely 🎅🚗

For anyone taking over the counter supplements, it is worth having a look at this news article to see how it may affect you.

If you are considering taking supplements, particularly if you are taking other medication, make sure you discuss with your doctor first. Some dietary supplements can interact with other medication or cause harm, such as an allergic reaction.

After a rising number of Australians reported suffering from B6 toxicity, the TGA has been forced to act and remove some supplements from shelves.

Look who's come to visit. Our very own Elf On The Shelf, Dr ICU!

He says he'll be hanging around for a while, he likes his perch on the tree for now, but tells us he's a cheeky fellow. From the 1st December, before he has to set to work with Santa he reckons he's going to get up to all sorts of mischief.

When you're in the practice next, look out for him to see what trouble he's gotten himself into.

We will also be posting some of his antics on Facebook, for those watching at home.
