A little reminder for the ladies: your health matters too. 🥰 💕

We often spend so much time looking after others—our partner, our kids, our parents and our friends, that we forget about our own needs.

Research tells us that prioritising taking care of others is actually the number one barrier to women being proactive about their health.

Filling other people's cup is lovely—but it's important to fill your own and look after YOU too.

So let this be your nudge to:
> Have some 'me' time (read a book, grab your favourite coffee, catch up with a friend).
> Prioritise the basics—sleep, water, movement.
> Book that health check you've been putting off.
> Regularly check your body for any changes like new lumps, bumps or moles.

By taking care of yourself first, you'll be able to better look after others in your life. 💕

There are 4 clinics servicing North Brisbane/Moreton Bay - Kelvin Grove, Kedron, Murrumba Downs and Deception Bay. The new Deception Bay clinic does not have x-ray on site, but during week days you can access Imaging Queensland located in the local shopping centre 3km away.
Urgent Care Clinics do not provide longitudinal healthcare, that is what your GP is for.
DO NOT ATTEND IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK, DIAL 000 or go directly to your closest Emergeny Department.

𝑭𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝑶𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉 - something very close to my heart. As many of my patients know I was diagnosed in late 2013 with very early Ovarian cancer, and I am so grateful to my treating team to still be here 12 years later. Listen to your body ladies 🙏

Ovarian cancer is often referred to as the "silent killer" because its symptoms can be subtle and easily overlooked. Early detection is crucial for better treatment outcomes.

Make sure you're scheduling those appointments and taking charge of your well-being! Regular health check-ups are vital in the fight against ovarian cancer.

If you are experiencing any on going symptoms make an appointment to see your GP
