Time. We all have the same amount – it’s the most valuable possession we have. There’s no shortage of tests, no shortage of specialists and procedures – spend time choosing wisely. When you spend your time with your GP, get the most out of it. Be prepared, have your questions, have your say – use your time!

It’s a great time to be a GP in Australia at the moment. We live in an affluent First World country with good social services and welfare and a strong public health safety net. It’s peaceful, spacious, and even the winter cold feels good after the warm summer!
It’s also easy to focus on the challenges of being a GP in Australia at the moment. Medicare rebates are frozen, the system is not perfect, politicians and big business seem to have GPs in their sights, and our patients still have high expectations of us. Where there are challenges there are opportunities and I think that GPs can and will step up to find solutions and thrive.
Partridge Street General Practice is a General Practice with an established patient base in a beautiful old house close to Adelaide’s famous Glenelg Beach. It’s a diverse area, with old and young and everyone in between, as well as tourists and travellers, especially when that sun comes out! We provide professional, empowering, comprehensive primary health care to this area and we think this is a pretty awesome challenge.

Men who use Viagra seem to have a higher incidence of skin cancer! Why?
Have a look here.
At Partridge Street General Practice we believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. How can we help you?
Firstly, be SUNSMART.
– stay more in the shade
– wear a protective hat (I like the Chappell style broad brimmed cricket hat)
– cover up, long sleeved loose fitting clothing keeps you cool and keeps you safe
– sunglasses (also keep you cool 😎)
– sunscreen (SPF>30, re-apply every 2 hrs)
– limit your time in the sun (is there an app for that?)
Skin cancers can be split into two main groups, melanoma skin cancers (MSC) and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). If you have a close family member with melanoma, or you’ve had a past melanoma, you’re at increased risk of melanoma. If you’ve had non-melanoma skin cancer before the age of 40, you’re at increased risk of melanoma. However, you’re far more likely to have NMSC than melanoma and these are the NMSC risk factors:
– fair complexion
– you burn rather than tan
– light eye colour
– light or red hair
– over 40 years old
– male
– multiple solar keratoses
– high levels of ultraviolet exposure
– previous NMSC (60% of those diagnosed with NMSC will have another within 3 years)
– immunosuppression
So we’ve covered prevention – what next? If you’re in one of the risk groups above or if you’ve got an area of skin you’re concerned about, check it out and write it down.
Look after yourself – we’re here to help!

Australian General Practitioners undertake extensive training (see here) in Western medical approaches to health and illness. It’s also important to know what you don’t know. Therefore I have prepared a #FOAMed blog post on ‘how homeopathy works’.
