💚 SEPTEMBER | SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness.

Sometimes it looks like going to work.
Looking after the kids.
Answering messages.
Making jokes.
Getting everything done.

And quietly struggling underneath it all.

You don’t have to be at breaking point to ask for help — and you don’t need to have the right words before making an appointment.

🩺 So, what can your GP actually do?

Your GP can give you a safe place to start the conversation, assess how you’re feeling and how it’s affecting your life, discuss treatment options, organise a Mental Health Treatment Plan or referral when appropriate, and help connect you with further support.

Most importantly, they can help you work out what happens next.

You can start with something as simple as:

“I haven’t been feeling like myself lately.”

That is enough to begin. 💚

If you’ve been functioning on the outside but struggling on the inside, make an appointment with your GP. You deserve support before things become overwhelming.

📲 Book an appointment via HotDoc.

💚 SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH 💚

Sometimes the person who seems okay… isn’t.

The friend who keeps everyone laughing.
The parent who keeps pushing through.
The coworker who never misses a shift.
The person who says, “I’m fine.”

This September, let’s make checking in with each other something we actually do — not just something we talk about.

Ask twice.
Listen without trying to fix everything.
Take someone seriously when they say they’re struggling.
And remind the people around you that they matter.

And if you’re the one struggling, please know you don’t have to wait until things become unbearable before asking for help.

Our GPs and Nurse Practitioner at Limestone Coast Health Hub are here to listen, without judgement, and help you work out what comes next.

💚 You matter.
💚 Your life matters.
💚 Asking for help is never wasting anyone’s time.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 000.

💚 T IS FOR TUESDAY! 💚

But T is also for…

🦶 Toes — weird nail? Painful lump? Something looking a little suspicious?

🥜 Testicles — lump, ache, swelling or just something that doesn’t feel quite right? Yep. Tell us.

👅 Tongues — ulcers, patches, pain or changes that won’t disappear.

😮 Throats — sore, swollen, scratchy, recurring or just refusing to behave?

🦋 Thyroid — tired, shaky, unexplained weight changes, temperature sensitivity or neck swelling?

🤕 Tummy — pain, bloating, bowel changes, reflux… your GP has heard it ALL.

😴 Tiredness — constantly exhausted isn’t something you necessarily have to just put up with.

🧪 Tests — blood tests, STI testing, screening and those checks you’ve been putting off for six months. 👀

And finally…

📅 TIME TO BOOK THE APPOINTMENT.

No symptom is too weird, too embarrassing or too small to ask about.

💚 New patients welcome
💚 See a GP or Nurse Practitioner
💚 Book via HotDoc

Limestone Coast Health Hub — let’s talk about the T’s. 😂

🔎 BE HONEST… WHAT HAVE YOU GOOGLED? 😂

We’ve ALL done it.

One tiny symptom ➡️ quick Google search ➡️ 7 minutes later…

“Well. Apparently I have 3 days to live.” 💀🤣

So today we want to know:

👇 What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve Googled instead of just booking an appointment with your GP?

Bonus points if Google had you convinced you had a rare disease only seen twice since 1847. 😂

No judgement here — but maybe it’s time to step away from Dr Google and see an actual one. 🩺💚

✨ We’re currently welcoming new patients!

Need to see a GP? Appointments are available — book now.

# # # 🩺 Changing GPs is easier than you think!

Sometimes the doctor you’ve always seen just isn’t the right fit anymore — and that’s okay.

You might have moved, your health needs may have changed, you may be struggling to get appointments, or you might simply want a fresh set of eyes on your healthcare.

**You don’t need permission to change doctors.** 💚

At Limestone Coast Health Hub, changing to one of our GPs is simple:

💚 Book an appointment with us, Let us know know you’re a new patient
💚 We can help you organise the transfer of your medical records
💚 That’s it!

Your medical history doesn’t disappear because you change clinics, and you don’t have to “break up” with your old doctor first. 😂

Most importantly, **you’re allowed to choose a GP you feel comfortable with, listened to and confident in.**

We have GPs accepting new patients, with appointments available.

📲 Book online via HotDoc or contact Limestone Coast Health Hub to get started.

**Your healthcare. Your choice. Your GP.** 💚

💚 **WHAT STOPS YOU FROM ATTENDING YOUR GP APPOINTMENT?**

Life happens. We get it!

Sometimes there’s a genuine reason you can’t make your appointment — but we’d love to know:

👇 **What’s most likely to stop you attending?**

🚗 Transport issues
👶 Kids/family commitments
💼 Work
🤒 Feeling too unwell
⏰ Simply forgetting
💰 Cost
😬 Anxiety about attending
📅 Something else came up

Whatever the reason, **please let us know if you can’t make it.**

# # # Why do we charge a DNA fee?

A **DNA (Did Not Attend)** is when an appointment is booked but the patient doesn’t attend and hasn’t cancelled with enough notice.

That appointment could have been offered to another patient who may be waiting to see a GP.

With demand for appointments high, every available appointment matters. 💚

Our DNA fee isn’t about punishing patients — it helps encourage early cancellations so we have the opportunity to offer that appointment to somebody else.

📞 **Can’t make it? Give us a call.**
Even a quick heads-up can make a big difference.

And if there’s something that regularly makes attending appointments difficult, please talk to our team. Where we can, we’d much rather help find a solution than have you miss out on care.

It’s Monday, so we need to know…

What’s powering you through the day? 👇

☕ A: Coffee. Obviously.
😴 B: Pure determination & very little sleep
🍫 C: Snacks. All of them.
💪 D: I’m suspiciously organised and thriving
🤷‍♀️ E: Absolutely no idea, but here we are

Drop your letter below — no judgement from us! 😂💚

And if Monday has reminded you that you’ve been meaning to book that appointment… consider this your little nudge. 😉

💚 **LET’S TALK CONTRACEPTION** 💚

The pill. The implant. The injection. An IUD. Condoms. Natural methods…

There are **a lot** of contraception options — and what works brilliantly for one person might be completely wrong for another.

Choosing contraception isn’t just about preventing pregnancy. Your GP can help you consider things like:

💚 Your lifestyle and how often you want to think about contraception
💚 Your periods — including heavy or painful bleeding
💚 Hormonal vs non-hormonal options
💚 Possible side effects
💚 Your medical and family history
💚 Future pregnancy plans
💚 STI protection and sexual health
💚 Whether your current contraception is still the right fit for you

And if you’ve been using the same contraception for years simply because *“that’s what I’ve always been on”* — it might be worth having a chat.

**You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to ask questions. And you deserve contraception that works for YOU.**

Book an appointment with one of our GPs to talk through your options in a private, judgement-free space.
