Melanoma March is just around the corner!

Do you have a dodgy looking skin spot you have been meaning to get looked at?

Here is your reminder to book that appointment with your GP for a skin check!

"Early detection is vital as, if caught early, 90% of melanomas can be cured with surgery.

It is important to ‘know the skin you’re in’ and seek medical advice if you notice anything new or changing on your skin. The first sign of a melanoma is often the appearance of a new spot, or a change in an existing freckle or mole.

Remember, melanomas are not always black – they can also be brown, pink, skin coloured or a combination of different shades"

Febfast is a great chance to review your drinking habits or take a break from unhelpful eating habits!

"Did you know that backing off the booze can bring some pretty swift body boosting benefits?

Apart from reducing hangovers and accidents, drinking within the Guidelines or cutting out alcohol altogether can make you look, feel and think a whole lot better – and you might even get through to the next pay day with some dollars to spare"
https://adf.org.au/reducing-risk/alcohol/alcohol-guidelines/

"This February, you get to choose how you’ll change young people’s lives. Give up a vice of your choice for the whole month, feel the health benefits and raise funds for YSAS’ drug and alcohol programs."
