ANZAC Day – Clinic Closure Notice

ANZAC Day, observed on 25 April, is a time for Australians and New Zealanders to come together in remembrance of the courage, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who have served our country in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping.

It is a day to honour the ANZAC spirit of courage, mateship, resilience, and sacrifice, and to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who served.

Please note that Virginia Medical Centre will be closed on Saturday 25 April in observance of ANZAC Day.

Normal business hours will resume on Monday 27 April.

Lest we forget.

Steroid Joint Injection Service Now Available at Our Clinic

We are pleased to offer a steroid joint injection service at our clinic, providing patients with another treatment option to help manage joint pain and improve mobility.

Steroid Joint injections can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve movement, making everyday activities more comfortable and supporting better quality of life.

Benefits of injections may include:
• Reduction in joint pain
• Decreased swelling and stiffness
• Improved mobility and daily function
• May reduce the need for other medications

Steroid Joint injections are commonly performed and are generally considered safe. As with any medical procedure, your doctor will discuss the benefits, risks, and any potential side effects with you to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your condition.

We are excited to continue expanding the services available to our community and provide more comprehensive musculoskeletal care.

If you are experiencing ongoing joint pain, stiffness, or reduced movement, we encourage you to visit our clinic and speak with your doctor about whether steroid joint injections may be suitable for you.

World Health Day – 7 April

World Health Day, held on 7 April, is a reminder of the importance of prioritising our health and wellbeing at every stage of life. Each year, this global day encourages people to take positive steps towards prevention, early detection, and ongoing care.

Good health starts with simple actions—regular check-ups, staying active, managing chronic conditions, keeping vaccinations up to date, and seeking advice when something doesn’t feel right.

At Virginia Medical Centre, we are proud to support our community with accessible, ongoing healthcare for individuals and families.

If you are due for a routine check-up, have a health concern, or would like to take a proactive approach to your wellbeing, we encourage you to see your doctor or visit our clinic.

Melanoma Awareness – March

March is a time to raise awareness about melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. It develops in the skin’s pigment cells and can spread to other parts of the body if not detected early.

Australia has one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world, and around 95% of cases are linked to UV exposure.

Simple steps can help reduce your risk:
• Seek shade during the hottest part of the day
• Wear sun-protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses
• Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen and reapply regularly
• Avoid sunburn and excessive sun exposure

Melanoma often appears as a new spot on the skin or a change in an existing mole, so it’s important to be familiar with your skin and notice any changes.

If you notice any new or changing spots, or would simply like a general skin check, we encourage you to see your doctor or visit our clinic for an assessment.

Teal Ribbon Day – Ovarian Cancer Awareness 💙
25 February

Teal Ribbon Day, held on 25 February, is part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, recognised throughout February. It is a time to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, honour those affected, and acknowledge the important work being done in research, education, and care.

Ovarian cancer is often referred to as a “silent disease” because its symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked. Increasing awareness of the signs and risk factors is critical to improving early detection and outcomes.

Throughout February, we stand with individuals and families impacted by ovarian cancer, remember those we have lost, and recognise the dedication of healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates working to create change.

If you notice persistent or unusual symptoms, have concerns about your health, or have a family history of ovarian cancer, we encourage you to speak with your doctor or visit our clinic for advice and assessment. Early conversations are important.

RedFeb – Heart Research Month ❤️

February is RedFeb – Heart Research Month, a time to raise awareness of heart health and the importance of life-saving research.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death, affecting individuals and families across our community. Research plays a vital role in prevention, early detection, and improved treatment—helping more people live longer, healthier lives.

RedFeb is an opportunity to reflect on heart health, increase awareness of risk factors, and encourage conversations about prevention and early detection.

If you have concerns about your heart health, a family history of heart disease, or are due for a routine check-up, we encourage you to see your doctor or visit our clinic to discuss heart health screening and prevention.

Together, small steps can help protect heart health now and into the future.
