🌸 Spring is here! 🌿☀️

With warmer days, longer evenings and everything starting to bloom, spring is a great time to give a little attention to your health too.

Whether it’s catching up on a health check, reviewing your medications, checking your skin, updating vaccinations or simply getting back into healthier routines, small steps can make a big difference.

Of course, spring can also mean hay fever and allergies for many of us. If your symptoms are getting in the way of enjoying the season, speak with your GP about how best to manage them.

From all of us at Ermington Family Medical Practice, we wish our patients and the local community a happy, healthy and enjoyable spring! 🌼🌷

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, but the encouraging news is that it is **highly treatable when detected early**.

Through the **National Bowel Cancer Screening Program**, Australians aged **50–74** receive a free home screening kit in the mail every two years. The test is simple, can be done at home, and could potentially save your life.

Many people delay doing the test because they feel well or think it isn’t urgent — but screening is designed for people **without symptoms**. Detecting early changes can prevent cancer from developing or allow treatment at a much earlier stage.

If you have received your kit and haven’t completed it yet, this is a good time to do it.

If you have any questions about bowel cancer screening or bowel symptoms, please speak with your doctor.

**Your health matters. Early detection saves lives.**
