We wanted to let all our patients know that we are currently experiencing significant staff shortages due to unexpected sickness.

This means that waiting times may be longer than usual, and we may not be able to respond as quickly as we would like.

We truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and understanding while our team works hard to continue providing safe and effective care during this challenging period.

Thank you for bearing with us.

🌷 Mother’s Day at Adelaide Street Family Practice 🌷

Today we celebrate all the incredible mums in our community — in every form that motherhood takes.

We’re thinking of:

• Those who are parenting little ones, big ones, and grown ones
• Those who are trying to conceive or navigating fertility journeys
• Those who hold their children in their hearts rather than their arms
• Those who have experienced loss, longing, or love that looks different than expected
• Those who are mother figures, caregivers, and supporters in someone’s life
• Those who find today joyful, complicated, or somewhere in between

Mother’s Day can bring a mix of emotions, and however you’re feeling today, you’re seen, valued, and supported.

From all of us at Adelaide Street Family Practice, we’re here for you — today and every day. 💛

If you pop out, even to grab a towel, and your child goes under the water, you won’t hear it. Drowning is silent. And can happen very quickly.

Sadly, one child a month drowns at home. Usually in the bath.

You can stop this happening by staying with your baby or young child all the time they’re in the bath.

Keep them within arm’s reach to keep them safe. And if you need to go anywhere, take them out of the bath and with you.
