Your doctor is best placed to explain the benefits and potential harms of bowel screening in context of your individual health situation. Your doctor may recommend bowel screening available via Medicare. Bowel screening kits are also available for purchase at pharmacies or online.

Nobody wants to think about a medical emergency happening to them. But everyone needs to recognize the importance of being prepared.

No matter your age or how healthy you are, emergency contacts are one of the most important ways to be ready in case of a medical emergency. After all, unforeseen events like accidents or sudden health issues can happen to anyone, anytime. Immediate health issues might necessitate quick communication with family or a friend in times of need.

Having reliable contacts can act as a safety net. Your contact list should be people who:

๐Ÿ“Are close to you and you trust,
๐Ÿ“Someone who you are happy to be reached in the event of an emergency,
๐Ÿ“Can provide emotional support and comfort in times of distress,
๐Ÿ“Can talk to medical professionals about your medical history, current medications allergies, and chronic conditions.
๐Ÿ“Is willing and mentally fit to take on the responsibility.

๐Ÿ“Regularly Update Information: Contacts might change over time. Whether it is a change in phone number or someone else becoming the primary point of contact, be sure to keep the information up to date.
๐Ÿ“Multiple Contacts: Having more than one contact is always a good idea. This increases the chances of reaching someone quickly during urgent situations.

The importance of next of kin and emergency contacts cannot be overstated. These contacts serve as another contact for your care. By maintaining updated and reliable emergency contacts, you can ensure your well-being and peace of mind.

โ˜Ž๏ธPlease talk to any staff member about updating your contact details or please ask us who do we currently have on record for you.

National Advance Care Planning Week

More than one in two of us will be unable to make our own medical decisions at the end of our lives, but only 15% of Australians have an advance care directive.
It may seem challenging to find the right time to talk about advance care planning. Yet having the conversations and documenting values and preferences about future medical care can ensure those preferences are respected. Whether you need to talk about yourself, a family member, a patient or a client, National Advance Care Planning Week is a great time to start the conversation.

๐Ÿ“What is advance care planning?

Advance care planning is a process that ensures family and treating healthcare teams understand what is important to you and how you want to be treated if you become unable to make decisions or communicate your preferences.

Ideally, advance care planning will result in a written Advance Care Directive (values and/or instructional), to help ensure the personโ€™s preferences are respected.

An Advance Care Directive is only used when the person loses capacity to make or express their preferences.

๐Ÿ“Advance care planning can include:
Appointing someone - think about who you trust to make medical decision on your behalf if you were unable to. You can complete a legal form to appoint this person as your Medical Treatment Decision Maker
Chatting and communicating - talk to family, friends and doctors about what is important to you. Discuss your values, preferences and what you would find unacceptable in relation to your health.
Putting it on paper - you can write down your values, preferences and what is important to you in an Advance Care Directive.

๐Ÿ“Benefits of advance care planning:

Families of people who have done advance care planning experience less anxiety, depression and stress and are more satisfied with care received
It reduces non-beneficial transfers to acute care and unwanted interventions.
It improves end-of-life care, and person and family satisfaction with care.

โ˜Ž๏ธIf you would like more information, please contact the clinic on 9576 9311 to book an appointment with your doctor or one of our practice nurses to discuss this further.
