This year I’m continuing to improve my skin cancer knowledge by completing certificates from the Australasian College of Dermatologists.
Skin cancer will affect 2 in 3 Australians at some point in their lives so it is important to have your skin checked regularly. If you notice any new or changing moles, for example a change in size, shape, colour or whether they are itchy or bleeding, be sure to book in for a full skin check.
Of course prevention is the best cure, so don’t forget the sun block for days when the UV index is 3 or higher.
It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for me to look after my fabulous patients in Southport.
From basic check ups, to contraception consults to mental health, there’s always a great variety coming through my door that always keeps me on my feet.
So if you’re in the area and need a check up, be sure to pop by. Wishing you all a great weekend. 🌸
It’s official, research has shown that taking a selfie can have a positive impact on our mental health. It allows us to self reflect and recognise ourselves as well as being able to feel more confident and comfortable in our own skin. I had a great time getting my selfie dose with the lovely Shamilla our local pharmacist and medical student 💖
Remember, always selfie in moderation as too much of anything can be bad.
Now that restrictions have lifted a little in Australia, we can start enjoying the beauty of nature once again.
Going for a simple stroll outside allows us to get our dosage of fresh air which is great for brain function and concentration as well as keeping our lungs nice and healthy.
Remember to always practice safe social distancing.
If you have an ache or a pain, or have noticed an unusual lump recently make sure you put your health first. Consultations can either be done by telephone or face to face if a physical examination is required.
