☀️ Happy World Kindness Day from Wambo Medical! ☀️

Today, November 13th, is a wonderful reminder that a little kindness goes a long way—especially when it comes to health.

Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, or a staff member, your small acts of compassion create a huge ripple effect of healing and support in our community.

Let's make today about:

🤗 Being kind to yourself (your health matters!).

😊 Being patient with others (you never know what they are going through).

🙏 Saying thank you to a healthcare worker.

How will you spread kindness today? Share your idea in the comments!

Join us and others across the world in celebrating and committing to showing more kindness to those around us this World Kindness Day.

There are appointments available for the coming weeks. Appointments can be made on line. This maybe a quicker option given the number of phone calls received at the centre. Many thanks

🌬️: November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month! 💙

This month, we're shining a light on the leading cause of cancer death in Australia. It's a disease that can affect anyone with lungs, regardless of whether they have smoked.

Here's how you can help raise awareness:

Learn the Signs: Know the symptoms like a persistent cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain, and speak to a doctor if you notice any changes.

Combat the Stigma: Lung cancer is a devastating disease. Let's show compassion and support for all those impacted.

Share This Post: Help us spread this important message and encourage early detection and research.

Let's work together to make a difference this November. Also, did you know you can get a free lung cancer test ? Check with your doctor about referrals.

Ready to see some questionable facial hair? 🥸

It's almost October 31st, which means Movember is officially around the corner! This is your 24-hour warning to enjoy your clean-shaven look because starting November 1st, we're all going to look like 70s detectives or awkward teenagers attempting a mustache for the first time. The Mo Bros at Wambo Medical are shaving down and strapping in for a month of itchy upper lips, bad angles, and bravely raising awareness for men’s health—including mental health and prostate cancer. Wish us luck (and maybe send some beard oil).

P.S. To all our partners: We apologize in advance for the sprouts. It’s for a good cause! 😂

This week we have World Osteoporosis Day, and at Wambo Medical, we’re urging you to 'Say No to Fragile Bones.' Osteoporosis is a silent disease that weakens bones, often going unnoticed until a painful fracture occurs.

Your bone health is just as important as your heart health! We offer comprehensive bone density screenings (DEXA scans) and personalized treatment plans, including nutritional guidance, supplements, and medication management. Don't wait for a break to take action. Talk to a Wambo Medical specialist today to assess your risk and build a stronger foundation for your future!

It's Global Handwashing Day! A day to remind ourselves that the germs on your hands are secretly planning a highly unsanitary rave. The only bouncer they truly fear is soap and water.

Our official advice:

Wet.

Lather like you're performing a dramatic monologue.

Sing "Happy Birthday" twice (or the chorus of a catchy 90s song).

Rinse.

Watch those tiny germ party-goers get evicted!

Keep your hands and our practice safe!

🎀 It’s Time to Think PINK! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🇦🇺
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Australian women, with 1 in 7 women expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. But here's the powerful truth: early detection saves lives!

This October, the team at [Your Practice Name] is reminding everyone to be Breast Aware and to understand the easy steps that can dramatically improve outcomes.

🔍 3 Key Steps to Breast Health:
Know Your Normal: Check your breasts regularly (at least once a month) for any changes. You don't need a special technique—just know what your breasts usually look and feel like.

Look for Changes: If you notice any of these symptoms, book an appointment with your GP straight away:

A new lump or lumpiness.

A change in the size or shape of your breast.

Ni**le changes (inversion, rash, or discharge).

Skin changes (dimpling, redness, or puckering).

Persistent or unusual pain.

Get Screened (Mammogram):

BreastScreen Australia offers FREE mammograms for women aged 50–74 every two years. We strongly encourage all women in this age group to attend.

Women aged 40–49 and 75+ are also eligible and can discuss screening with their GP.

Your GP is Your Breast Health Partner 🩺
If you find a change, or if you have concerns about your family history or risk factors, please book an appointment with us. We can:

Perform a clinical breast examination.

Arrange referrals for diagnostic tests (like an ultrasound or diagnostic mammogram).

Discuss the BreastScreen Australia program and help you book your free appointment.

Don't delay. Early detection gives you the best chance of survival.
