Planning an overseas trip these holidays?

Different countries have different risks when it comes to water quality, food safety, and insect-borne illnesses. A travel health check with your GP before you go can help you prepare.

1️⃣ 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗶𝗰𝗲 & 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀
If you’re unsure about the quality of the local water supply, it’s important to be cautious:

💧 Avoid drinking tap water unless you know it is safe
🧊 Be careful with ice cubes, as they’re often made from tap water
🥛 Choose bottled or boiled water when in doubt
🍹 Be mindful of cocktails or drinks mixed with tap water

Your GP can advise whether vaccinations or other preventative measures are recommended for the region you’re visiting.

2️⃣ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲
✈️ Comprehensive travel insurance is an important part of planning a safe trip. It can help cover unexpected medical care overseas, which can be costly in some countries. Check that your policy includes medical and hospital cover.

3️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀
In some destinations, insect bites can spread illnesses such as dengue, malaria, or other mosquito-borne infections. Simple prevention strategies include:

🦟 Using insect repellent as directed
🕷️ Wearing long sleeves and pants, especially at dawn and dusk
🦟 Sleeping under treated mosquito nets where recommended

If you’re travelling soon, consider booking a travel health appointment to discuss vaccinations, medications, and prevention tips tailored to your itinerary.

The end of the year can feel emotionally demanding. Many people notice changes in sleep, energy, concentration, or mood during December.

Evidence-informed strategies to support your wellbeing:
• Small moments of rest: Short breaks can reduce stress load
• Physical activity: Even a 10-minute walk supports stress regulation
• Limiting over-commitment: It’s okay to say no to reduce burnout
• Healthy boundaries with technology: Helps improve sleep quality
• Talking with a GP if symptoms affect daily functioning

Mental wellbeing deserves attention just as much as physical health.

Blood Pressure Checks: A Simple Step for Heart Health ❤️

Did you know high blood pressure often has no symptoms at all?
Many people don’t realise their blood pressure is elevated until it’s picked up during a routine check.

A quick BP check with your GP or nurse can help identify concerns early and support long-term cardiovascular health.

Why blood pressure matters

High blood pressure can place extra strain on your heart and blood vessels over time. Regular monitoring helps you understand your numbers and make informed decisions about your health.

Lifestyle habits that support good cardiovascular health

Small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference:

• Move your body regularly — Aim for around 30 minutes of moderate activity on most days
• Prioritise restorative sleep — Good sleep supports heart health and hormone balance
• Add more colourful vegetables and whole foods to your meals
• Stay hydrated, especially during warmer months
• Manage stress through breathing exercises, hobbies, or time outdoors
• Limit alcohol intake
• Avoid smoking and seek support if you’re trying to quit
• Maintain regular check-ups, especially if you have a family history of heart disease

How often should you check your BP?

Every 6–12 months for most adults — or more often if recommended by your GP.

If it’s been a while since your last check, we’re here to help. Call us on 02 4971 6663 or book online at https://www.swanseachanneldoctors.com.au/

💙 19 November is International Men’s Day — a reminder to support the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our community.

✔️ Blood pressure and heart health
✔️ Mental health check-ins
✔️ Prostate health discussions (based on age, symptoms and family history)
✔️ Diabetes risk factors
✔️ Skin checks — especially for men working outdoors
✔️ Healthy lifestyle habits (sleep, diet, physical activity)

Taking charge of your health doesn’t have to be complicated — and you don’t need to wait for a problem to book an appointment.

💬 If it’s been a while since your last check-up, consider using today as a reminder.
Our GPs are here to provide a supportive space to talk about your health at any stage of life.

🌙 Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s a foundation of good health.
Getting enough restorative sleep supports almost every system in the body, from your immune function to your mood, energy, and long-term wellbeing.

Here’s why sleep matters for healthy ageing and longevity:
✨ Supports memory, focus and brain health
✨ Helps regulate hormones, appetite and metabolism
✨ Allows your body to repair tissues and strengthen immunity
✨ Reduces stress levels and supports emotional wellbeing

If you’re regularly feeling tired, having trouble falling asleep, or waking unrefreshed, your GP can help explore potential causes and discuss safe, evidence-based strategies to improve sleep.

🛏️ Small changes make a big difference
• Keep a consistent sleep schedule
• Reduce caffeine later in the day
• Limit screen time before bed
• Create a cool, dark, quiet sleeping environment

If sleep is affecting your daily life, we’re here to support you with personalised guidance.

Movember isn’t just about moustaches — it’s about men’s minds. Men often struggle in silence. Reaching out isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

Your mental health matters as much as your physical health. 💬 If you’ve been feeling anxious, flat, or overwhelmed, reaching out for support is a strong first step. Try to get 30 minutes of outdoor activity daily and practice mindfulness. If symptoms persist, book a GP appointment to discuss a Mental Health Care Plan.

☀️ Australia's UV levels are already high! Before the summer holidays hit, book your skin check — early detection is the key to preventing skin cancer. Check your skin monthly using the ABCDE method and report any new or changing spots to your GP.

Asymmetry (one side doesn't match the other),
Border (irregular, notched, or blurred edges),
Color (multiple colours within the same mole),
Diameter (larger than 6mm, about the size of a pencil eraser), and
Evolving (changing in size, shape, or colour over time).

Any spot that fits these criteria should be evaluated by a doctor.
