Today may be tagged as “Blue Monday” — but your mental health matters every day.

You might have heard that the third Monday in January is the “most depressing day of the year.” But this idea started as a PR stunt and hasn’t been supported by scientific evidence — one day isn’t inherently harder for everyone.

What does matter is how you’re feeling right now. January can be a tough time for many people — change in routine, financial strain, post-holiday pressures and missing family can all affect our mood.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, low in energy, or just “a bit off,” that’s okay — and you don’t have to go through it alone. Talking about how you feel, connecting with someone you trust, and reaching out to a GP or health professional can help you take positive steps forward.

Tips to support yourself and others:
• Check in with a friend or loved one today
• Take a walk or get some fresh air
• Break tasks into manageable steps
• Prioritise rest and self-care

Remember: mental health is important every day of the year, not just today. You deserve support whenever you need it — and we’re here to help. 💛

📞 If you’re concerned about your mental health, contact your GP at Mead Medical or visit beyondblue.org.au for local support.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a training practice is supporting GP Registrars as they grow in confidence, skill, and independence. But with that comes the hardest part… saying goodbye when it’s time for them to move on. 💙

Over the coming weeks, we will be farewelling Dr Emma Johnson, who finishes with us on 22 January, and Dr Maddy Nappier, whose final day will be 30 January. Both have been wonderful doctors and valued members of our Mead Medical community, and they will be greatly missed by patients and staff alike.

While it’s always sad to see registrars leave, this transition is a vital and positive part of their training journey. We are incredibly proud of Emma and Maddy and wish them every success as they continue their GP training. The door at Mead Medical will always be open, and we would love to welcome them back in the future once their training is complete.

As one chapter closes, another begins. From 2 February, we are excited to welcome three new GP Registrars to the clinic:

- Dr Ainslie Jolliffe
- Dr Liang Jong
- Dr Thomas Weaver

We’ll be sharing individual introductions very soon so you can get to know them better.

Thank you to our patients for supporting medical education and being part of this important journey with us. 💛

📢 We’ve made booking appointments even easier! 📱💻

Mead Medical has moved from Automed to HotDoc for our online bookings.

HotDoc is simple, secure, and easy to use — allowing you to:
✔️ Book appointments online anytime
✔️ Choose your preferred doctor
✔️ Manage your bookings with ease

What happens to existing bookings?
If you already have upcoming appointments, these will appear in HotDoc once you log in, provided your details match those held in our system.

Appointment reminders
📲 Patients who have the HotDoc app will receive appointment reminders as app notifications.
📩 If you don’t have the app, you’ll receive an SMS reminder 24 hours before your appointment.

As we’ve only just transitioned to HotDoc, it may take a little time for all patient information to fully update within the app or your login. We appreciate your patience during this change.

If you need any assistance, our friendly reception team is always happy to help 😊

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to improve your experience with us 💙
