Last weekend, some of our GP’s attended the GP Refresh Conference in Melbourne, an intensive training event that delivers dynamic presentations covering over 70 clinical topics across the weekend. This type of continuing professional development ensures that GP’s keep up with advancements in healthcare so that they grow professionally and maintain their high standards of patient care, which is always our top priority. 🤩

What a legend. ❤️

Trevor officially completed his ultimate mission - donating at every single Lifeblood Donor Centre across Australia.

There are only about 150 Anti-D donors like Trevor in the country and for 60 years, this life-saving program has protected unborn babies from Rhesus disease, helping 40,000 Australian mothers every single year.

From all of us at Lifeblood, thank you, Trevor. For 40+ years of giving and 20 years of protecting babies. Join us in celebrating Trevor in the comments below.

Jeans for Genes Day raises funds to help find treatments and cures for the 1 in 20 kids with a birth defect, genetic disease or other life-threatening condition. We set out to raise $250 across the clinics today, but ended up raising a whopping $1,365, because thanks to Lowes, any donations made today were doubled! It’s not too late to donate, head to www.jeansforgenes.org.au

We have welcomed two new faces to our nursing team this year, Tiana and Manpreet! 😍 Both have brought a lovely warm energy to our clinics, with Tiana's calm and reassuring presence, and Manpreet's big smile and bubbly personality. But we aren't allowed to hire on those qualities alone, so it's lucky that they also bring skills to the mix. 👏 Tiana brings a wealth of knowledge from her years working as a Registered Nurse in both the Acute and Community setting, and prior to joining us she'd had 5 years of General Practice work at another clinic; and Manpreet has a few years under her belt as a Registered Nurse in Aged Care, Corrections and General Practice. Both have hailed from clinics in Melton, and we're grateful they made the leap across The Cutting and landed with us! 🏜️

Last week we said Goodbye to Amanda from our reception team, who has rudely left us in the depth of winter, to relocate to sunny Queensland with her family! 🔆 The audacity! Her saving grace was saying we can all go up and stay whenever we want. 😂👋🏼✈️ Amanda has put in a solid 4.5 years of consistently good work, professionally and socially, often bringing in her home-made kabana and other treats, and providing quiet, generous support in times of need and in times of celebration. She will be missed. We wish her luck, and hope she has as much fun with her future colleagues as she has had with us. 💞

⚠️ Just a reminder that AusAlert will be running a national test TODAY at 2pm - this means all compatible mobile devices in Australia will sound with the Critical Alert, which is a siren-like warning sound, complete with vibrations. This will sound even if your phone is on silent or in Do Not Disturb mode.
You do not need to do anything in response to the alert. We are just reminding you!
Also note, if you have a concealed or hidden phone to help keep you safe, the advice is to turn this phone OFF or put it in aeroplane mode prior to 2pm today.
See link below for more info on AusAlert. ⚠️

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices.

❗️Continence aids available!❗️
We have been given a heap of continence aids that we would like to offer to our patients (for free!). 🤗
If you use continence aids, please take a look at the photos (noting we have more of each than what is pictured) and if you would like any, send us a message on Facebook or call the clinic and ask to speak with our nurses. 📞
If there are no takers, we will be donating them to our local Continence Nursing team. 🙂

This coming weekend, our server is being upgraded, and we will be running without computers! 😳
Due to this, our Bacchus Marsh and Maddingley Clinic will only be open from 9am-1pm on Saturday, and CLOSED on Sunday.
As our Doctors and Nurses will not have computers, the appointments on Saturday are only for recurrent-and-necessary dressing patients (which will be booked in advance by our staff), and acutely unwell patients (the ones who are ill and call closer to the weekend). 🤒
We KNOW computers never used to exist, but times were simpler then, and so much more is discussed and organised in a consult now - so it's not feasible to run normal consults that will require extensive data-entry later.
We apologise for any inconvenience, but the server upgrade has been a long time coming (YEARS!), and it will allow us to run harder, faster and longer (server-wise, not physically 😵‍💫).
Thanks in advance to our patients for their patience. We'll be back to normal from Monday 27th! 👏🏽
*Please see the comments as to where you can access care whilst we are closed.*
