Did you know women spend almost 40% of their lives in menopause.

Last week Dr Sharma was included in a stimulating and informative session on the myths and misinformation that are still rife around menopausal hormone therapy.

GPs need to give women up to date, evidence based information so they can be genuine partners in decisions about their own care.

Women spend almost 40% of their lives in menopause. That deserves far more attention and better care than it has traditionally received.

Prescribing MHT is nuanced. There is no one size fits all, every management plan needs to be individualised to the woman in front of us.

Grateful to have been part of the conversation and to keep learning alongside colleagues committed to closing the gap between evidence and everyday practice.

Dr Anita Sharma has been featured in Medicine Today alongside Professor Andrew Sindone AM, discussing the critical role GPs play in caring for patients after a heart failure hospitalisation.

The first four to six weeks after discharge are a key window — and general practice is at the centre of making sure patients get the follow-up and support they need.

Some things you just don’t put a price on.

A GP who has known your family for decades. Who remembers your history without you having to explain it. Who you trust with the big health milestones, not just the urgent ones.

Dr Anita Sharma has been caring for families in Chermside since 1999. That kind of continuity of care is rare and it’s exactly what we believe general practice should feel like.

Whether you’re coming in for something simple or navigating something more complex, we’re here for all of it.

1 in 10 Australians are living with chronic kidney disease. Most don’t know it.

CKD has no symptoms until up to 90% of kidney function is already lost, which is why testing early matters, especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.

A simple blood and urine test with your GP is all it takes to check. If you’re due for a health check, book online via the link in our bio.

Heart disease is often thought of as a man’s problem. It is not.

It is the leading cause of death in Australian women, and women are far more likely to experience few symptoms, or symptoms that do not fit the textbook picture of a heart attack. Fatigue, nausea, jaw or back pain, and shortness of breath can all be signs, often overlooked or dismissed.

Menopause is a major watershed moment for women’s heart health, with risk increasing significantly during this stage of life. But heart conditions can affect younger women too, sometimes without any of the risk factors we typically associate with heart disease.

If something has felt off, do not wait, and do not assume you are too young or too healthy for it to be your heart.

If you have any concerns about your heart health, or it has been a while since your last check, come and talk to us.

Dr Sharma was recently invited to speak on a panel discussion on the comprehensive management of obesity, sharing her perspective as a GP in primary care.

Her message was simple but important.

Managing weight is not about the number on the scale. It is about health gains. Reducing inflammation. Improving your metabolic markers. Lowering your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease. Getting your energy back.
When we treat obesity as a medical condition rather than a lifestyle problem, everything changes.

That is exactly the approach we will be taking at Platinum Weight and Metabolic Health, our new GP-led clinic coming soon to Platinum Medical Centre in Chermside.

Stay tuned for more details.
