Sugar Awareness Week: The average Australian consumes 14 teaspoons of added sugar daily - far exceeding the WHO recommendation of 6 teaspoons! Excess sugar contributes to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and tooth decay. Time to rethink your sweet habits! Book an appointment with your GP to discuss weight management, diabetes risk, or nutritional advice. Your GP can assess your metabolic health, arrange blood tests, and provide personalised dietary guidance or dietitian referrals.

World Antibiotic Awareness Week: Antibiotics are precious resources that only work against bacterial infections, not viruses like colds and flu. Overusing or misusing antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance - one of the biggest threats to global health. Use them wisely! Book an appointment with your GP when you're unwell. Your GP will determine if antibiotics are needed or if your infection will resolve naturally. Always complete the full course prescribed, and never share or save antibiotics.
