Has Valentine’s Day got you thinking about matters of the heart? We turned to Buderim cardiologist, Dr Alana Harris, to answer a few common heart health questions.

💙 When should we be concerned and see a doctor about a fast or skipping heartbeat?

A fast or erratic heartbeat can be a sign of cardiac arrhythmia. While an ECG is the best way of diagnosing an arrhythmia, your smart watch or blood pressure machine can also give useful information. If your heart feels too fast, too slow, like it’s skipping beats, or if something just doesn’t feel right, book an appointment to speak with your doctor.

💙 What are some things people can start doing today to help improve their heart health?

Eating a healthy diet and losing weight if needed, regular exercise and physical activity, reducing alcohol consumption and quitting smoking are all lifestyle habits we can work on every day to help improve heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease.

💙 What are the cardiac red flags or symptoms we should be aware of?

Palpitations (a sensation of your heart beating abnormally), chest discomfort (it does not have to be pain), shortness of breath and light-headedness or blackouts. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you should seek medical advice.

This Valentine’s Day, give your heart health the attention it deserves. Speak to your GP about a heart health check-up and always seek medical advice if you have concerns.

Today marks 18 years since the National Apology was made to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed and displaced from their families, communities and culture. These children are known as the Stolen Generations.

The National Apology was a historic acknowledgement by the Australian Government of the trauma and grief caused by past government laws, policies and practices of assimilation.

UnitingCare's reconciliation journey is underpinned by the acknowledgement and apology by the Uniting Church in its contribution to these past wrongs - evident in the Church's 1994 Covenant with the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress and 1996 formal Apology to the Stolen Generations, as well as an ongoing commitment to advocate and seek justice, healing and reconciliation.

Buderim Private Hospital is proudly part of UnitingCare.

More exciting orthopaedic surgery news from Buderim Private Hospital! 🎉

You may remember last year we expanded robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery to include shoulder replacements, after becoming only the second hospital in Australia - and one of the first 10 globally - to have access to the new Mako shoulder application.

We’re proud to share that together with orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Joe Coory, we have since completed the most Mako robotic‑assisted shoulder replacement surgeries in any hospital outside the United States. This is great news for our patients and community and places Buderim Private Hospital among leaders in this advancing field globally.

Congratulations to our specialists and team whose experience and commitment make milestones like this possible.

The Mako orthopaedic robot can also be used for hip and knee replacement surgery. Find out more about our orthopaedic services at https://buderimprivatehospital.com.au/our-services/orthopaedics

After decades of caring for women and helping to create countless Sunshine Coast families, much-loved obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr. George Bogiatzis, has delivered his last baby here at Buderim Private Hospital 💛

But the good news is he’s not going anywhere! Dr Bogiatzis will continue to be part of our Buderim community and is now focussing exclusively on gynaecology and fertility.

Proud parents Erin and Matt were thrilled to be part of this significant milestone in Dr Bogiatzis’ career, when in late December 2025 they welcomed the arrival of their beautiful baby boy, Oliver.

“It was a joyous and heartwarming moment. The parents knew it was my last birth, and they were equally excited,” Dr Bogiatzis said. “Everything went smoothly, and I was fortunate enough to have my regular team around me for the birth, which made it extra special.”

Oliver’s arrival followed nearly 9,000 others in what has been a labour of love for Dr Bogiatzis. Take some time this weekend to read his story, going back to where it all began with his first birth 👉 https://bit.ly/3Mgqqi9

Hey Queenslanders, it's hot! Here’s a reminder of our top tips to help you stay cool and keep well on these hot summer days.

Please stay safe and remember to keep an eye out for your loved ones, mates and elderly neighbours.

💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Remember young children and babies are at greater risk of dehydration than adults.

👒 Stay indoors or seek out the shade whenever you can. Wear a hat, sunscreen and loose-fitting clothing.

🧐 Keep an eye out for elderly neighbours and family members and check in with them daily.

❄️ Use air conditioners if you’re able to, and encourage your elderly loved ones to switch theirs on too if they have one.

💦 Cool showers, or a water spray bottle and a fan, are excellent ways to cool down.

🏃‍♀️ Limit outdoor activities such as exercise and gardening during hot weather, or plan these activities for cooler parts of the day.

🏊‍♂️ Swim between the flags and always supervise children around water, including pools, dams and at the beach.

🍎 Make sure young children are eating and drinking normally, and if not, try using an electrolyte drink to help maintain their hydration. Be aware that kids can also dehydrate more rapidly if they are sick.

🍷 Ensure food is properly refrigerated and avoid drinking alcohol which can cause more rapid dehydration.

Keep an eye out for heat stroke warning signs such as high body temperature, rapid pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, confusion and nausea, and seek medical attention or call triple zero (000) immediately if you develop these symptoms.

If you need us in an emergency, we're here for you 24/7 at Buderim Private Hospital Emergency Centre. For more info, visit https://bit.ly/3VxbFJa
