During June, our Intern Pharmacist, Carla, had the opportunity to deliver a diabetes education session at HASI. The presentation focused on understanding diabetes, healthy lifestyle habits, blood glucose monitoring, and sick day management.

It was great to see Carla engage with participants, answer questions, and support people in building confidence to better manage their health. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion!! ☺️☺️☺️

This April Falls Month, know the signs that increase the risk of falls such as someone holding furniture as they walk, or having a lot of trip hazards around the house.

Falls are a leading cause of injuries, hospitalisations, and fatalities among older Australians, with one in four people over 65 experiencing at least one fall each year.

Falls are preventable! Improving our balance and exercising regularly can help!

Activities that improve strength and balance, such as yoga, tai chi, or strength training, can reduce the risk of falling by 23%. Adults of all ages should aim for 30–60 minutes of physical activity most days, including exercises that enhance balance and strength.

For more information about your falls risk, please come to the pharmacy to talk to Athena, Pauline or Carla.
