True or false: “Not All Disabilities are Visible”

Answer: True.

Did you know that according to the World Health Organisation1 billion people are living with a disability globally?

Did you know that two thirds of these people don’t seek any sort of help due to stigma?

These figures help remind us that there a lot of people we will meet every day who face
barriers we do not see or experience.

Help @South Steyne Medical Centre start a conversation around #hiddendisabilities by sharing this post and learning more about the International Day of People with Disabilities.

If you would like to learn more about different types of disabilities please have a chat with your doctor by booking here or visit the
link here.

Curious about how to stay safe this summer? Check below!

We here at South Steyne Medical Centre love getting in the sun, but it’s important to stay safe!

The Cancer Council Australia is running a fantastic initiative this week, National Skin Cancer Action Week. So as part of that we thought we would share some good tips for being sun safe.

Here are the best ways to keep safe in the sun this summer:

SLIP on some sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible.

SLOP on broad spectrum, water resistant SPF30 (or higher) sunscreen. Put it on 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards. Sunscreen should never be used to extend the time you spend in the sun.

SLAP on a hat – broad brim or legionnaire style to protect your face, head, neck and ears.

SEEK shade.

SLIDE on some sunglasses – make sure they meet Australian Standards.

To learn more about skin cancer see here. To talk to a doctor see here.

Did you know that #diabetes treatment is still out of reach for many people all over the world? Find out more about #diabetes at South Steyne Medical Centre as we recognize the upcoming World Diabetes Day.

Even though the technology for treating diabetes has been around for 100 years, treatment remains beyond the reach of many.

The reasons for this lack of access are largely due to financial or educational factors.

By helping to raise awareness about diabetes or even supporting #worlddiabetesday you are helping to improve the quality of life for people all around the world.

Help raise awareness by sharing this post!

Or, if you would like to contribute to this initiative visit the International Diabetes Federation website here.

Suicide is one of Australia’s silent killers. In 2019 there were an estimated 3300 deaths due to suicide.

This number is most likely lower as suicide still carries a stigma and so goes under-reported. Unfortunately this stigma is part of why suicide is prevalent within our society.

Sock it to Suicide day is an initiative that seeks to bring suicide out of the shadows in a safe and inclusive way.

This week get your most colourful pair of socks on and show your true colours! To learn more about the initiative please follow the link below.
