Terrace Clinic

Terrace Clinic is an AGPAL accredited practice. This clinic would provide a spacious yet warm and welcoming environment to all that entered.

Terrace Clinic came about as an idea between Dr George Pillay and Dr Andrew Jeyaprakash, our principal founders back in November 2004 who envisioned a new clinic to be purpose built adjacent from the Port Pirie Regional Health Service. We moved into our temporary clinic and were joined by Dr Santhosh Vellaiah-Retnaswamy, until the construction of our purpose built premises became a reality in May 2006.

Practicing mindfulness? Don’t mind if I do!
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, stressed and anxious sometimes – these can be normal human reactions.
Practising mindfulness helps us become more in tune with how we’re feeling and helps us to better respond to the world around us.
Simple mindfulness exercises can be practiced anywhere, at any time. Taking a few minutes every day to stop, slow down and notice how we’re feeling in the moment can make a big difference.

Stop! Before you have that sneaky cig at your mate’s birthday party, hear us out.
Social or casual smoking might feel like the “healthier” choice, but in truth it’s anything but.
Dropping the amount you smoke doesn’t substantially reduce your risk of diseases such as lung cancer, even people who have significantly cut back still have a high risk.
The only way to reduce the risks of smoking is by quitting completely. If that’s something you’re keen to do and would like support, head to https://brnw.ch/21wTxwB, or call the Quitline on 13 78 48.

Preparing lunchboxes and making them healthy can be challenging, here are some helpful tips.
Involve your child in the preparation/cooking process. Let them be involved in the process of picking what new items to try each week and let them help pack their lunch box. Sometimes it is more fun to try something that you chose or helped to make.
Remember:
▪ It can take 10 or more tries for children to become familiar with, accept and enjoy new foods. Try to be empathetic of children who find eating difficult.
▪ Lunch periods are short, and kids can talk a lot. Try to pack foods that are easy for kids to eat in the time they have for lunch.
▪ Talk to your child about whether there was too much, not enough, or just the right amount of food so you can avoid wasting food and satisfy their hunger.

Healthy teeth and gums start with a healthy toothbrush. 🦷

Whether you’re using a manual, or electric toothbrush, it’s important to replace your toothbrush or toothbrush head every three months, or when it flares up or looks worn.

Worn/Flared bristles are less effective at cleaning your teeth and can harbor germs that can lead to plaque build-up, gum disease and tooth decay.

Using reminders on your phone can help manage when to replace your toothbrush, but if it looks like the one on the right – it’s time to move on.

Finding skin cancer early gives you the best chance of successful treatment.
Getting to know your skin and what is normal for you helps you to notice any changes. Skin cancers rarely hurt and are much more frequently seen than felt.
Get into the habit of regularly checking your skin for new spots and changes to existing freckles or moles. It could save your life.
The ABCDE of melanoma detection can be a useful guide when checking your skin.

Whether you are setting up the fireplace, snuggling in with a hot drink, or cooking up a feast in the kitchen, there can be risks of minor burns.
Most burns will heal themselves in 10 to 12 days. If the burn does not have any blisters a simple moisturiser such as sorbolene is the best treatment. For all other burns, seek medical advice for appropriate dressings.
If you are concerned about a burn, seek advice from your local chemist or GP.
In an emergency, always call Triple Zero (000).
