HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY!! We love the women in our town. As a female-owned practice, with 5/6 of our employees being women (Sorry Dr Briggs), we think this day is pretty special.
To our very special patients, we know how much you carry, how hard you work and we also know the unique challenges that women face.
WELL DONE for all that you do, keep going and don't forget that help and support is available if you need it.

Women are more at risk for certain health conditions and we recommend frequent cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening, age-appropriate bone-density checks and hormonal and metabolic screenings. We want to see you become the healthiest version of you, through every stage of your life.

A common myth is that when your child has a chesty cough, that they will need antibiotics. While there are definitely times when antibiotics are needed, most cough's are caused by viruses, which don't respond to antibiotics.

The good news is that you don't need to fret over making that decision. That is what we are here for!

Exercise is proven to be beneficial for heart health - both for preventing heart disease AND in rehabilitation & treatment for patients with high blood pressure, heart failure, and patients who have had stents/ bypass surgery. In the latter group, a pre-exercise assessment is important to establish current status, exclude exercise related heart strain and help develop your heart rehab programme.

Exercise is also important for stress management, managing menopausal symptoms, mood control, preventing osteoporosis, reducing cholesterol and sugar levels, and so much more.

Dr Briggs runs this assessment, being passionate about heart health, movement and injury risk assessment. Book now to start the journey to a healthier you!

It has been awesome to have Dr Jason Briggs a part of our team! See what he has to say about working in private practice in Hoedspruit.

"I love being a GP because it gives me the opportunity to truly connect with the community and make a lasting difference in people’s lives. Working in Hoedspruit is especially rewarding — the people here are so friendly and welcoming, which makes every day fulfilling.

I enjoy having the time to really get to the root of a patient’s problem, not just treating symptoms but understanding the whole person. It’s a privilege to be part of a close-knit community where I can build long-term relationships and support people through every stage of their health journey."

Be honest — what stops you (or the man in your life) from going to the GP?

😅 “I’m fine.”
⏰ “No time.”
🙈 “Rather not know.”
💰 “Too expensive.”
🥶 “It’s just a cold.”
