A new week brings new opportunities and achievements 💪
Each week, I make a list of the things that I want to achieve. These are tasks that are realistic and can be done with a little motivation. This week I am aiming to complete my final exam for the practical management of skin cancer in General Practice. Helping to provide better care for my patients in sunny Queensland.
It was a pleasure to be invited as a guest speaker at the monthly Me Time seminar held by SARA, a group that supports women who have been affected by domestic and family violence.
This month’s topic was all about spreading health awareness from cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening to skin checks amongst others.
To find out more about the group head over to mfo.org.au.
With summer well and truly in full swing make sure you always remain sun smart.
We’re very fortunate that in this part of the world we have glorious sunshine but remember the UV index is at an all time high with average readings over 10. Exposure to such high levels can lead to ageing of the skin, which means wrinkles, but more importantly it increases your chance of developing nasty skin cancer. So this summer, stay sun smart and regularly apply sunblock at least spf 30+ as well as popping on a hat, sunnies and protective clothing.
With temperatures hotting up and public holidays in sight, what better way to spend the summer outside by the beach, catching up with a few friends over a barbie or getting your adrenaline fix at the theme parks.
