Today is an annual event that brings attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights and violence and abuse against women.
This year’s campaign is all about equity. As a General Practitioner, I regularly treat people that start from different places and journeys without judgment. Helping to bring true inclusion into modern day medicine.
So whatever your background don’t delay seeking medical help today.
It’s time to put yourself first and that’s exactly why there’s a whole week to celebrate women’s health.
Whether you’ve been putting off that smear test or if you want to check if your periods are ‘normal’ or even a simple change of birth control or a cosmetic treatment now is the time to do so!
Make your health a priority today.
Pop by and see me in clinic if you have any questions or concerns.
On this day, 102 years ago, after 2 million husbands and sons had died in war, the women of Russia stood up to fight for ‘bread and peace’, and they marched their way to the right to vote.
Breaking news! 🔊🔉 It’s just been announced by the Gold Coast Government that a brand new clinic will be opening for women affected with pain following pelvic mesh insertion.
The pelvic mesh was used to manage pelvic weakness, sometimes as a result of child birth. It has been under the watchful eye of many following claims of pain after insertion which has led to a state enquiry and a class action with an eventual ban. $3 million a year will be injected into a new clinic at the Gold Coast University Hospital with an integrative care approach consisting of specialist doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and psychologists.
The clinic is expected to open mid next year and will serve the state.
This is extremely exciting news for women who have been suffering pelvic pain following mesh surgery.
If you or a loved one is affected or wish for more information please pop by and see me in clinic.
You are strong, you are beautiful, you are a woman 💃
