A reminder left in our Zen garden by one of our beautiful little patients 🤍

“You are loved.”

Simple, but something many of us need to hear sometimes.

Wishing everyone a calm and restful weekend ahead. What does everyone have planned?

It’s World Thyroid Day today 🦋

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped organ at the base of your neck, and it plays a huge role in regulating energy, metabolism, mood, hormones and sleep. When the thyroid isn’t functioning properly, symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked.

Persistent fatigue, brain fog, feeling cold, weight changes, dry skin/hair or irregular menstrual cycle can sometimes be linked to thyroid dysfunction.

Your thyroid is controlled by the pituitary gland in the brain, which releases thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). In response, the thyroid produces hormones (T3 and T4) that travel through the bloodstream and help regulate many of the body’s functions.

When this system isn’t working properly, the thyroid can become
•Underactive (hypothyroidism) - slowing body processes down
•Overactive (hyperthyroidism) - speeding them up

Your thyroid function can usually be assessed with a simple blood test arranged by your GP.

If this sounds familiar, it may be worth speaking with one of our GPs for a check-in and to explore things further 💙

Before there was a GP clinic here, these walls were already part of Prahran history 🎸

Next Practice Prahran is proudly located inside the iconic Old Station Hotel in Prahran, a heritage listed pub which operated for 108 years before closing its doors in 2013.
Originally established in the 1850s, the venue became a well known part of Melbourne’s live music scene, hosting legendary Australian artists and becoming woven into the culture and character of Prahran for generations.

In 2019, Next Practice Prahran opened within the beautifully restored space, reimagining the historic building as a place for healthcare, connection and community 🤍

Fun fact: our consult rooms are named after legendary artists who once performed within these very walls.
Including AC/DC, The Dingoes, Skyhooks and Cold Chisel.

We love that our clinic carries so much history and character while continuing to welcome people through its doors in a completely new way.

Have memories of the Old Station Hotel? We’d love to hear them below!

Proof that getting everyone organised for a team photo can take almost as much effort as booking the GP appointment you’ve been putting off 😅
Skin check, cervical screening, mental health care plan, health check… the hardest part is often just getting started. In the end it’s always worth it 💛

Together with .au , Next Practice Prahran is home to the Emsella Chair.

If you are experiencing bladder leaks or feeling less confident in your core strength, you are not alone.

Emsella is a non invasive treatment that may help support pelvic floor strength and bladder control.

It works by using high intensity focused electromagnetic energy to gently stimulate deep pelvic muscles, creating thousands of contractions in a single session that are difficult to achieve through exercise alone.

You simply sit fully clothed and relax during treatment, with no internal procedure required.

Each session delivers the equivalent of around 10,000 Kegel contractions, helping to support strength, control, and intimate wellbeing over time.

If you would like to learn more, Dr Ash and our nursing team offer a complimentary discovery consult and initial treatment to help you explore whether this may be suitable for you.

Trying to figure out ADHD medication can feel a bit confusing so here’s how it usually works with your GP 👇

1️⃣ Chat with your GP
Start with a standard appointment to talk through your symptoms, history, and whether an ADHD assessment is right for you.

2️⃣ Referral to a psychiatrist
If needed, your GP will refer you for a 291 assessment. This is a detailed review to confirm whether ADHD is the right diagnosis and if medication is appropriate.

3️⃣ You get a plan
After your assessment, the psychiatrist sends your GP a report with diagnosis (if confirmed) and treatment recommendations. This may include medication or other options.

4️⃣ GP applies for a permit at your next GP visit
If medication is recommended, your GP applies for approval to prescribe ADHD medications (these are tightly regulated).

5️⃣ Back to your GP
Once approved, your GP will start your prescription and work with you to find the right medication and dose over time.
💡
A few things to know:
• ADHD medications are Schedule 8, which means they are closely regulated. You will need regular GP reviews to continue your script and repeats are usually limited

• The GP who applies for your permit is the one who manages your prescriptions. If they are away, another GP at the same clinic can usually help, but it is important to have one regular GP overseeing your care

• These prescriptions can’t always be done last minute. Reviews and permits can take time, so try to book ahead to avoid running out of medication

• Your treatment may change over time. Finding the right medication and dose can take a few appointments

• Not all GPs prescribe ADHD medications. If you are interested in this pathway, we recommend booking with Dr Evelyn Lewin, who has a special interest in ADHD

There are some changes happening across different states when it comes to ADHD prescribing. For now, this is how we can best support you and we will always keep our patients updated as things evolve.

If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay. We can help guide you through it 🤍
