Get snapping for good health
The Mid North Coast Local Health District has launched the nation’s newest, and most exciting, photographic competition in a bid to improve health literacy.
The Panorama Photographic Competition was launched nationwide and is offering more than $45,000 in prizes.
Project Manager Carolyn Guichard said the competition was part of the Health District’s Your Health Link initiative, a strategy aimed at enhancing community understanding of information about health and health care, and how people can apply that information to their lives.
An online health education tool, Your Health Link provides a wide range of information on health facts, support and counselling services, legal, finance and housing, mental health, drug and alcohol, sexual health and more.
Information about the competition, including entry details, is available online at www.yourhealthlinkphotocomp.com.au
Bowel cancer expert in Wauchope
Medical expert Dr Stuart Kostalas visited Hastings Medical Centre in Wauchope for an educational update for local doctors about bowel cancer detection.
He stressed the importance of early diagnosis in treatment and cure of the second most prevalent cancer in Australia. Dr Kostalas emphasised the importance of patient participation in national bowel screening initiatives and for those patients at higher risk – from either family history predisposing, or for other underlying reasons, then surveillance is done through colonoscopy.
During his visit last month, Dr Kostalas presented many case examples of great outcomes from early detection and careful delineation of the patient’s needs.
He said it was great to be joined by the current junior medical officer from Wauchope Hospital, Dr Julie Magpoc, along with Dr Oliveira, Dr Snitkovski and Dr Kristoffersen from Campbell Street Surgery. Also in attendance was Dr Moye, who was in his last week at Hastings Medical Centre, being replaced by Dr Omar Sali.
