☀️ March is Melanoma Awareness Month ☀️

March is a timely reminder to prioritise your skin health. Australia has one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world, and early detection can truly save lives.

Melanoma can develop quickly and may appear as a new spot or a change in an existing mole. If you’ve noticed anything unusual — or if it’s simply been a while since your last skin check — now is the perfect time to book in.

🩺 Skin checks are available with Dr Usman at East Clinic.

A thorough skin examination is quick, straightforward, and could make all the difference.

📞 Call our reception team to book your appointment today.

Your skin health matters — don’t put it off.

It is with great sadness that I note the passing of Dr Cecil Doughty.

He worked at the East Street Clinic from 1975 to 1984 and the East Clinic from 1984 to 2017

He was a great doctor respected by patients and staff.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

🌸 **Farewell to Our Wonderful Carolyn** 🌸

After 10 amazing years as part of our GP clinic family, we say a fond farewell to the lovely Carolyn. Carolyn has been the warm smile to greet you at the desk, the kind voice on the phone, and the caring heart behind the scenes that has made our patients feel welcome and supported.

Her warmth, kindness, and dedication have touched so many lives — both patients and staff alike. Carolyn, your presence has been a shining light in our clinic, and while we are so sad to see you go, we are incredibly grateful for the decade of care and compassion you’ve given.

From all of us here — thank you for everything, Carolyn. You will be truly missed, and we wish you all the very best for your next chapter. 💐💖

Your direction to better health
