3 August to 9 August – National Stroke Week

National Stroke Week encourages the community to know the F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech and Time) signs of stroke so that they can save a life.
Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke.

Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:
– Face: Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
– Arms Can they lift both arms?
– Speech: Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
– Time is critical. If you see any of these signs, call 000 straight away.

A stroke is always a medical emergency.

This year, the National Theme for World Hepatitis Day in Australia is “Take the Next Step.” It encourages people to take the next step for their health, no matter where they are in their journey.
Whether you: - Have been thinking about getting vaccinated for hepatitis B
Have been diagnosed with hepatitis B but are not having regular monitoring
Have been considering getting tested for hepatitis C
Have been thinking about starting treatment for hepatitis C..or are unsure what your next step is, but want to learn more
This is a reminder and opportunity to take the next step, whether that’s figuring out what comes next or taking action towards better health, support, and peace of mind.
Viral hepatitis in Australia - Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are blood-borne viruses that affect your liver. Over time, they can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Many people with hepatitis B or hepatitis C may not experience symptoms, which means they can live with the virus for years without knowing.
In Australia, an estimated 300,000 people are living with hepatitis B or hepatitis C, and many remain undiagnosed or are not currently engaged in care.
Hepatitis C can be cured, and hepatitis B has a vaccine and can be managed.
You can live well with hepatitis, and there is support available to support you through your next step.

I want to give a shoutout to my big boss Sarah,
Got to say I'm so appreciative of my boss Sarah, after only getting 2 hours sleep due to UNI she told me to have the day off to recoup! Legend, I'm lucky to have such a supportive boss ❤️ (comment made by Practice Manager, Phillipa)
