Don’t get caught out in the rain 🌧️ ☂️
With severe weather warnings in place for heavy rain, damaging winds and flash flooding make sure that you are safe this week.
Roads are slippery when wet, so if you need to drive, do so cautiously and slowly with your lights on. Similarly, take care if you are walking as the risk of slips and falls are more likely in wet weather.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

Music is an international language 🎶
There aren’t many things that are universally understood, music is one of them. It helps to lift the spirits, reduce stress by taking you to another dimension or even help you loose calories by dancing away.
What type of music do you like and why?

Setting goals for 2021 🤓
As the year is fast approaching its end, it’s time to think about goals and ambitions for 2021.
My top tip for succeeding in achieving those goals is to choose something that is realistic. Very often we challenge ourselves too high and when we are unable to reach that expectation we get less motivated and give up. So instead, break down your goal into manageable chunks to achieve over a period of time.
One of my goals for 2021 is to have a diverse range of medical professionals over on my YouTube channel, helping to bring you all an array of health information.
What are your goals for 2021?

Stay sun safe by the pool 🌞🏊♀️
As the weather starts to heat up, it’s easy to forget about being sun smart. If you’re headed into the pool always make sure you’ve slopped on enough sun block at least 20 minutes before hitting the water. Use a broad spectrum sun block which is at least SPF 30 and reapply every hour if you’re in the pool or every 2 hours if you’re keeping dry.
Not only will this help to keep your skin protected from developing nasty moles but it will also help to prevent skin ageing.

Ever walked into a pharmacy and felt overwhelmed by all of the different medicines and vitamins? 💊
Whether you’re taking prescribed medication or over the counter supplements, it’s time to question what they are for, how you are taking them and what potential side effects they have. If medicines are not used correctly, serious issues can occur. Each year 230,000 Australians are hospitalised with problems by their medicines. It is vital that your medications are reviewed regularly by your doctor to ensure they are still needed.
So next time you’re getting a script make sure you’ve got all your information. If you have any concerns or questions please pop by and see me in clinic.
Take care and stay healthy 😘
