👩‍⚕️💙 Putting New Skills into Practice!

This week, Xanthia is attending four days of face-to-face training as part of her Certificate IV in Medical Practice Assisting (MPA) course, which she has been studying for the past 18 months! 📚👏

The practical training provides an opportunity to develop and practice clinical skills that will allow her to take on an expanded role within our practice.

🩺 What does a Medical Practice Assistant (MPA) do?

An MPA is a valuable member of the general practice team, helping support our GPs and nurses with a range of administrative tasks including;

🩺 Taking and recording clinical observations, including blood pressure and temperature

❤️ Performing ECGs (heart tracings)

🧪 Collecting, labelling and handling certain medical specimens

🧼 Maintaining infection control procedures, sterilisation processes and medical supplies

🩹 Assisting with wound care and minor procedures under clinical direction

💊 Monitoring medical and medication stock levels

👩‍⚕️ Supporting our doctors and nurses to help keep the treatment room running smoothly

MPAs work alongside our clinical team, helping improve patient care and allowing our GPs and nurses to focus on the tasks that require their expertise.

💙 We're proud of Xanthia's commitment to furthering her education and developing her skills over the past 18 months.

We look forward to seeing you put your new skills into practice here at Karalta General Practice, Xanthia! 👏🎉

💗 OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 💗

Yesterday, the KGP team wore pink to show our support and encourage everyone to prioritise their breast health! 🎀

💕 Know your normal - Get familiar with the look and feel of your breasts, and look out for changes such as lumps, skin dimpling, ni**le changes or unusual pain.

🩷 Notice a change? Book an appointment with your GP without delay. Most breast changes aren't cancer, but it's important to get them checked.

🎗️ Don't forget your breast screen! Free mammograms are available through BreastScreen Australia. Screening every two years is recommended for women aged 50–74. People aged 40–49 and 75 and over are also eligible for free screening.

Visit https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/breastscreen-australia-program for more information.

💗 Look after yourself and remind the women in your life to do the same!

🩺 What does your blood pressure actually mean?

Ever wondered what those two numbers mean when you have your blood pressure checked?
🩸 The top number — Systolic
The pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
❤️ The bottom number — Diastolic
The pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
For example, in a reading of 120/80, 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure.

Knowing your numbers is an important part of looking after your heart health.

Not sure when your blood pressure was last checked?

⏰ Help your doctor run on time!
Our doctors do their best to stay on schedule, but unexpected situations can sometimes cause delays.

You can help us keep appointments running as smoothly as possible by:
🔹 One patient. One appointment. One main problem.
If you have several concerns to discuss, please consider booking a longer appointment.
🔹 Let us know if you need extra time

Some consultations, including mental health concerns or multiple health issues, may require more time.
🔹 Come prepared
A short list of your symptoms, medications or questions can help you make the most of your appointment.
🔹 Prioritise your concerns
Try to raise your most important issue first so there is enough time to address it properly.
🔹 Allow time for your appointment

If you have somewhere you need to be afterwards, please let reception know when booking.
We know your time is valuable — and so is your doctor's time. 💙

By working together, we can help reduce waiting times and make sure every patient receives the care and attention they deserve.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

💙❤️ Karalta General Practice

🩺 5 Signs You Should See Your GP
Sometimes it’s easy to put off making an appointment — especially when life gets busy. But there are some symptoms that are worth getting checked.

Here are 5 signs it may be time to see your GP:
✔️ Symptoms that aren't improving — if something is lingering longer than expected.
✔️ Unexplained changes in your weight — particularly if they happen without changes to your diet or activity.
✔️ Ongoing or unusual fatigue — especially when it’s affecting your everyday life.
✔️ Persistent or unexplained pain — don't feel you simply have to put up with it.
✔️ Changes in your usual health — including new or unusual symptoms that concern you.

You know your body best. If something doesn't feel right or you're concerned about a change in your health, talk to your GP. ❤️
