🫁 COPD is more than just breathing difficulties - it’s a serious condition that can affect your lung health and overall wellbeing.
In 2020, a study in Thorax found:

- People with COPD who never smoked had 2.6 times the risk of developing lung cancer compared to people without COPD.
- People with COPD who have smoked had more than 6 times the risk

This is one of the many reasons why early detection and management are vital for health. At Manse Medical, our specialists help patients detect COPD early, monitor their lungs, and manage risks. If you notice shortness of breath, a chronic cough, or other breathing issues, speak with a respiratory specialist today.

This year’s theme is “Short of Breath, Think COPD.” Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, yet it is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
-A diagnosis of COPD should be considered in anyone experiencing:
-Persistent shortness of breath, particularly during physical activity
-Chronic cough with or without mucus
-Wheezing
-Chest tightness
-Frequent respiratory infections
-Fatigue

Without appropriate management, COPD can lead to:
-Frequent chest infections
-Pulmonary hypertension
-Right-sided heart failure (cor pulmonale)
-Reduced physical fitness and muscle weakness
- Depression and anxiety due to reduced quality of life

Early diagnosis and proper management can significantly improve quality of life and clinical outcomes. To learn more about COPD, visit: https://www.mansemedical.com.au/chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease/

Early detection is key to improving outcomes. You can take steps to protect your lung health:
1. Know the signs – persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss.
2. See a specialist – consult a respiratory physician if you have risk factors or symptoms.
3. Get screened – discuss lung function tests or imaging if recommended by your doctor.
4. Avoid risk factors – quit smoking and reduce exposure to harmful substances.
Taking action early can make a real difference.

Researchers Train AI to Diagnose Lung Diseases 🫁

Researchers at Charles Darwin University have developed an AI model that can accurately diagnose lung diseases — including pneumonia and COVID-19 - from ultrasound videos with over 96% accuracy (CDU, 2025).

This breakthrough could speed up diagnosis, support doctors, and improve early detection of lung conditions, paving the way for smarter, faster healthcare. At Manse Medical, we’re excited by innovations like this that enhance respiratory care and patient outcomes.

Apple Watch users in Australia (Series 9, Series 10 & Ultra 2) can now access the new sleep apnoea detection feature. It records your breathing patterns during sleep and provides a report in the Health app that you can share with your doctor.

💡 Tips to get the most from this feature:
- Track your sleep for at least a month to notice meaningful changes.
- Keep a regular bedtime routine.
- Charge your watch before bed so it lasts through the night.

While this device is not a medical test and doesn’t replace a formal home sleep study, it can be a helpful tool to gain some initial insights into sleep patterns if you’ve been feeling unrested.

Ever wondered why we’re called Manse Medical?

For Dr Andrew Bradbeer, the name is deeply personal. As a child, he lived in country church manses, homes that were more than just a residence—they were a place of refuge, comfort, and community. Neighbours and travellers alike could come to seek help, share their story, or find support.

Naming the clinic Manse Medical honours that spirit. From day one, it has been a place where people can find compassion, care, and understanding- just as Dr Bradbeer experienced in his childhood home.

For 20 years, Manse Medical has been helping patients breathe well, sleep well, and live well. From our beginnings in Hamilton serving rural communities, we’ve grown into a network of clinics across Victoria and Tasmania, while also supporting patients nationwide - but none of this would be possible without the trust and support of our patients and communities.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has trusted us with their care. Your support inspires us to continue our mission: providing compassionate, patient-centred care, improving access to specialised health services, and staying true to our roots in regional and rural care.

Thank you for being part of our journey - we look forward to caring for and supporting Australians for many years to come.
