Cranbourne West Medical Centre

💛 Today is RUOK Day – A Time to Check In 💛
At Cranbourne West Medical Centre, we believe in supporting not just your physical health, but your emotional well-being too. RUOK Day is a reminder for all of us to pause and ask the people around us, “Are you okay?” Sometimes, starting the conversation is the first step toward making a difference in someone's life.

Remember these four steps when checking in:
1️⃣ Ask "Are you OK?"
2️⃣ Listen with an open heart.
3️⃣ Encourage action by suggesting they talk to someone, like their doctor.
4️⃣ Check in again to show your ongoing support.

We’re here for you, not just today, but every day. If you or someone you know needs medical or emotional support, don’t hesitate to reach out.

📞 Call us on (03) 7017 5932 to book an appointment.

💛 RUOK Day is coming this Thursday, the 12th of September 💛
At our medical centre, we encourage everyone to check in with those around them. It starts with a simple question: Are you okay? But don’t stop there. Here are the 4 steps to a meaningful conversation:

1️⃣ Ask: Start the conversation with, “Are you OK?”
2️⃣ Listen: Take the time to really listen to their response.
3️⃣ Encourage action: Ask if they’ve spoken to their doctor about how they’re feeling.
4️⃣ Check in: Follow up later to see how they’re doing.

Remember, we’re here to support your health—mental and physical. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to us today.

Signs and symptoms of testicular cancer include:

- A lump or swelling in either testicle.
- A feeling of heaviness in the sc***um.

Back pain.

It's National Spinal Health Week! This week focuses on the importance of maintaining good spinal health to improve overall wellbeing. In 2024, we highlight the causes of back pain and its negative effects on Australians and the economy.

If you’re among the 4 out of 5 Australians who experience back pain, you’re not alone. Back pain is the leading cause of disability globally and can lead to a poorer quality of life, psychological distress, or bodily pain. If left untreated, it can sometimes lead to disability.
In 2020-21, an estimated $3.4 billion was spent on the treatment and management of back problems in Australia. Don't neglect your health—take action to protect your spine and improve your overall wellbeing.

Best Wishes to Nurse Jyoti 🌸

Today at Cranbourne West Medical Centre, we gathered not just as colleagues but as a family, to bid a fond farewell to Nurse Jyoti as she embarks on an incredibly special journey - maternity leave, awaiting the arrival of her twins. 🍼👶👶

Jyoti has been an integral part of our team, known for her compassion, dedication, and the unwavering care she provides to all our patients. Her smile and warmth have been a constant source of comfort and reassurance, making a difference in the lives of many.

As Jyoti prepares to welcome not one, but two new additions to her family, we celebrate this joyous occasion with her, her husband, and their son. The road ahead is filled with double the laughter, double the love, and, of course, double the diapers!

We cannot thank you enough, Jyoti, for all that you've contributed to our team and the community. Your absence will be deeply felt, but our best wishes for you and your growing family are endless.

May this new chapter bring you all the joy, health, and happiness. We look forward to meeting the newest members of your family and hearing all about your new adventures.

Until we meet again, take care and know that you will always be a part of the Cranbourne West Medical Centre family. 💖
