If you’ve missed any routine screenings or check ups over the past year, make it a priority to see your Doctor. Early detection is best and finding cancer at an early stage increases the chances of successful treatment and improved survival.

⏱Breast Screening for women aged 50-74, although women aged 40-49 and 75 years and older are able to attend for screening, talk to your Doctor to see if you are eligible. @breastscreenvictoria
⏱ Bowel Cancer Screening Program for eligible people starting at age 50 and continuing to age 74 (without symptoms) to screen for bowel cancer using a free, simple test at home. @bowelcanceraustralia

World AIDS Day, held on 1 December each year, is a great opportunity to show your support for people with HIV. Even the simplest gestures can go a long way to showing that you care. Reduce the stigma by talking to your friends and family about HIV.
HIV can affect anyone. There is no vaccine or cure for HIV, however there are highly effective treatments. People with HIV take medications on a daily basis to maintain their HIV at an undetectable level and to keep them healthy.
By being informed about what HIV is and how it can be transmitted, we can take measures to look after ourselves and others.
A sexual health check is a painless and easy process which gives you a peice of mind. If you would like to talk to your Doctor, please call 9217 9400 to make an appointment or book online via our website with our sexual health service.
World Diabetes Day 🩸 The theme for this year is ‘access to diabetes care’, focusing on the importance of improving access to diabetes care for all and the need for action to prevent diabetes and its complications.
On World Diabetes Day we’re reminding everyone to review their Annual Cycle of Care to keep you and your diabetes care on track. Some of the key health checks to follow up with your health care team are:
✅ Cholesterol
✅ Blood Pressure
✅ HbA1c
✅ Feet
✅ Eyes
✅ Kidneys
✅ Gums
✅ Medications
Regular health checks can help reduce your risk of developing complications.
If you would like to talk to your Doctor about your Diabetes risk, management and care, call us on 9217 9400. Book online or find us on HotDoc.
Let’s catch up? 🗓
If you missed a Cervical Screening Test in the last year, National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week reminds us that it’s #TimeToCatchUp.
Many may know the Pap test, which was used to look for changes in the cells of the cervix, the entrance to the uterus (womb) from the vagina. Since 2017, screening changed to the Cervical Screening Test, which looks for evidence of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cell changes in the cervix.
The cervical screening test looks and feels the same as the Pap test. But it is only done every 5 years instead of every 2 years, if your results are normal.
If you are a woman aged 25 to 74 and are due for a test, speak to your Doctor, call us on 9217 9400, book online or find us on HotDoc.
Regular screening can save lives ☺️
It’s Perinatal Mental Health Week, lets raise awareness and let parents in need know that they are not alone!
Did you know 1 in 5 new mums and 1 in 10 new dads experience perinatal depression and/or anxiety? Which is around 100,000 Australian parents each year.
Start today by asking a new or expectant parent how they are going. Listen really well and offer support.
Let’s break down barriers created by the stigma that surrounds perinatal mental illness so parents can get the support they need. The earlier the intervention the better outcome for all 💛
If you would like some extra support, speak to your GP. Call us in 9217 9400 to make an appointment, book online or find us on HotDoc.

PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES
PATIENT QUOTES
I don’t write many reviews but wanted to praise the good service I receive at Kings Park Medical Centre in Hillside, particularly with Dr John Nyugen. I know Dr Nyugen takes great care with his notes, and is always very professional and knowledgeable. I stopped centres to ensure my medical needs could be carried out by him. I don’t mean to suggest he is a “soft touch”, but represents the best of a new generation of GPs. like Dr Gradisic at Hillside, I highly recommend people see him.
