45-49 year old Health Assessment for Women
The 45 -49 year old health check is a free health promotion service covered by Medicare once between the ages of 45-49 years.
This health check focuses on preventative care, the aim is to detect and prevent chronic disease and enable early intervention. This check will also allow the GP more time to take specific notice of areas which are hard to cover in a normal consultation and provide the opportunity to raise any concerns that you may have about your health. Our practice nurse will perform the assessment and then you will see your regular GP to complete the assessment.
The health check would include:
- Updating your medical/family history and looking at your health issues
- Doing tests, such as blood pressure, ECG, blood pathology
- Identify and follow up any health problems
- Providing advice and information about lifestyle modification programs to the patient
- including strategies to achieve lifestyle and behaviour changes.
- Looking at risk factors including smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, family history of chronic disease, sun exposure
Pink is the colour of care
I’m fundraising to ensure that no one goes through breast cancer without the care of a McGrath Breast Care Nurse.
A breast cancer diagnosis can change your life in an instant and the impact can be felt right through your family, friends, and community.
McGrath Breast Care Nurses help individuals and their families affected by breast cancer by providing invaluable physical, psychological, and emotional support from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment.
Supporting me to raise funds for this great cause is easy and you can help the McGrath Foundation reach their goal of 250 nurses by 2025, to work towards ensuring no one misses out on care.
Thank you so much for your support.
