😴 Always exhausted?

Between work, family, social life and everything in between—it’s easy to blame feeling exhausted on being “busy.”

But if you’re constantly feeling:
• Drained, even after a full night’s sleep
• Struggling to focus or think clearly
• Short of breath or lightheaded
• Relying on coffee just to get through the day

…it could be more than just a hectic lifestyle.

💡 Low iron is very common in women aged 20–40—especially with busy schedules, periods, pregnancy, or postpartum changes.

The good news? A simple check with your GP can help identify the cause, and treatments like iron infusions may help restore your energy.

✨ You deserve to feel like yourself again—not just push through the fatigue. Book an appointment with your GP. Phone 8295 3200 or book via HotDoc https://www.hotdoc.com.au/medical-centres/glenelg-SA-5045/partridge-street-general-practice/doctors

As of 1 July 2026, PartridgeGP will be making an adjustment to our fees.

This change is necessary as Medicare rebates have not kept pace with the true cost of delivering high-quality medical care. Over time, rebates have been under-indexed or frozen, while the costs of running a general practice—including wages, medical supplies, and everyday operating expenses—have continued to rise in line with inflation.

Because of this gap, Medicare rebates now cover a smaller proportion of the cost of providing care, which means a modest increase in out-of-pocket fees is required to help us continue offering safe, accessible, and comprehensive care to our patients.

We understand that changes like this can be difficult, and we remain committed to supporting our patients and providing care that is both compassionate and of high quality. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, our team is always here to help.

Today is the start of Men's Health Week.
Men's Health Week is celebrated around the world every year in June.��It is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on men's health and to talk about how they can live happier, healthier lives.

It is a special week where men and boys are encouraged to prioritise their health and wellbeing - not just physical health, but also mental health and emotional wellbeing.

One of the key goals of Men’s Health Week is to break down barriers that prevent men from accessing healthcare. Encouraging regular check-ups, open conversations, and lifestyle changes can lead to earlier detection of health issues and improved overall well-being.

Encourage the men in your life to see a doctor for routine screenings, health assessments and to open conversations about stress, anxiety, and emotional well-being. It can help break down stigma and encourage more men to seek support.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
Do you know the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer?

14,904 Australian are told they have bowel cancer each year.

Know the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer:

Blood in your poo or re**al bleeding (Bright red or very dark blood should never be ignored)
Obvious change in your bowel habit.
Weight loss you can’t explain.
Extreme tiredness for no reason.
Lump or swelling in your abdomen.

Not everyone experiences symptoms, particularly in the early stages of bowel cancer.

Don’t delay in talking to your GP if you are experiencing any of the described symptoms for two weeks or more, because when diagnosed early almost 99 percent of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated.

Blood in your poo or re**al bleeding is not normal and should never be ignored.

Have you heard of the ABCDE melanoma detection guide?
Almost all of us have moles. Moles are not normally present at birth, but appear in childhood and early teenage years. By the age of 15, Australian children have an average of more than 50 moles.

It is important that we check our skin and moles for any changes. Although you may notice one or more skin changes, it does not necessarily mean that you have skin cancer, however it is important that you visit your GP to have them investigated further.

PartridgeGP offers expert skin cancer checks with fully qualified and experienced doctors. Our doctors perform detailed full-body examinations using dermoscopy to detect moles and suspicious lesions early. Sun damage can lead to melanoma and other skin cancers - early diagnosis can save lives.
