Keeping our community safer in Covid-19
How CCFP has made changes to keep our community safer during Covid-19 We have made many changes to our operations at CCFP in response to Covid-19. Some of these changes are temporary and will be rolled back in accordance with appropriate State and Federal advice, some...Requests for COVID-19 clearance
20/3/2020 Dear Employers/ School Principals /Day Care Managers Doctors are unable to provide patients with COVID-19 clearance. As per government advice and guidelines, resources must be conserved for patients who are both unwell and fit strict testing criteria....UTIs
Really common, really annoying, and occasionally really dangerous. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more frequent in women because they have shorter urethras (the tube from bladder to the outside) and so bacteria have less distance to travel before causing trouble....TMJ Pain

Hey team Karana Downs, please seek a telehealth review (NOT face to face) if you have any covid19 symptoms (sore throat, cough, runny nose, sore ears, gastro, fever) and stay home. There are so many horrific stories about what will happen if we don't. This is from one of my colleagues (with consent) this morning:
Interviewed a UK GP this morning, some of the stories are quite shocking:
1. GP Home Visiting Services finding young people dead (30s and 40s) at home with presumed COVID.
2. GP Practices having to shutdown due to lack of staff - whole practices with COVID.
3. Non-GP Specialists eg Consultant Dermatologists volunteering to do ICU NURSE shifts.
4. ICU Ratios of 1 nurse to 5 patients.
5. Even frontline health professionals who are doing all this work being prevented from accessing 2nd dose vaccine (as they are going for 12 week dosing not 3/4) despite putting themselves in harm's way whilst volunteering to do very high risk work.
Firstly, I feel so sad for our colleagues overseas. This GP broke down and shared how helpless she feels.
Secondly, I feel so lucky and grateful to live where do and for the response Australia has had so far. But we, both as professionals and as a society, must all keep up our guard, this is a long way from over.
Hi everyone - we are back up to moderate risk for Covid19.
We will be hitting the pause button on non-essential face-to-face care for a few days and making good use of telehealth to continue providing care.
Your job is to please stay home and make the most your Net-ies subscription!
