📣 Important Update for Our Patients 📣

We understand the passing of our beloved paediatrician, Professor Hopp, has been deeply felt by many of our patients and their families. To help support our community through this difficult transition, we are pleased to announce a new service to assist patients of ADHD medication management.

Dr. Mampuya has now completed the necessary training to prescribe ADHD medications. This service is available for patients 8 years and older who can provide documentation from their previous paediatrician confirming their current medication and treatment plan.

Please note-
⚫️ This is a private, out of pocket specialty service.
⚫️Initially appointments will be available only for Your Health Griffith existing regular patients as we monitor the patient load and ensure quality care.
⚫️ Additional doctors are currently undergoing training and we will expand availability as more clinicians become qualified to provide this service.

If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment with Dr Mampuya, please contact the practice directly.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to care for our patients during this time. 💙

It is with great sadness that we announce our beautiful Dr.Danushka will be leaving Your Health Griffith. Her last working day will be Friday, November 7th.
Dr. Danushka has made an incredible impact on the lives of her patients during her time at our practice. Her empathy, kindness and clinical knowledge have been truly commendable and we will dearly miss her warm laughter in our hallways.
We wish her all the very best as she returns to Sydney to be with her young family.
Many people don’t see the personal sacrifices our GPs make to continue their professional development, including those long, late trips on the highway.
Thank you Dr Danushka for your dedication and care. You will be deeply missed by your patients and our entire team. 🩷🩷🩷

💛 R U OK? Day 💛

Today is a reminder that a simple conversation can change a life.

You don’t need to be an expert or have all the answers. Just being there, listening without judgment and showing you care can make a world of difference.

Take a moment today to check in with someone – a friend, family member, colleague, or even yourself.

👉 Ask the question: "R U OK?"
And really listen to the answer.

You never know what someone might be going through behind the scenes. Let’s create a community where it’s okay to speak up and support one another, not just today, but every day.

September is 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 Awareness Month and it's crucial to spread the word about this important issue. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, with 23 350 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed in Australia in 2024. Early detection can make all the difference.

Men at higher risk include 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟓𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 or those with a 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer often develops slowly and symptoms can incude: 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧, 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭/𝐥𝐞𝐠 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧.

You should talk to your GP about screening options. Regular screening can help detect prostate cancer early, when it's most treatable.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms we encourage you to book an appointment with your GP.
