Don't forget your travel vaccines these holidays
Are you going overseas for the summer holidays? Before you jet off, it’s essential to consider what travel vaccines and health advice you may need.
Ideally, travel health consultations should be scheduled at least 4-6 weeks before you travel to ensure you have enough time to get vaccinated and receive all the necessary information.
Travel vaccinations protect you from serious diseases that you might encounter abroad. Whether you're trekking through tropical jungles or exploring bustling cities, certain vaccines can help keep you safe. Common vaccines include those for Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, among others. Additionally, IFMC is an accredited Yellow Fever Vaccination provider.
Doctors practicing within our facility also offer personalised travel health consultations. Our experienced team can provide you with essential tips on preventing illness during your trip, including advice on food safety, insect protection, and altitude sickness.
Your health is our priority, so let’s make your travel experience enjoyable and worry-free. Contact us today to book your travel vaccine appointment and ensure you’re fully prepared for your next journey. Safe travels!
Introducing GP Skin Check Appointments
We’re thrilled to offer a new appointment type - GP Skin Check appointments.
Your skin health is just as important as any other aspect of your wellbeing. With a GP Skin Check, you’re not just getting a thorough skin exam—you’re receiving personalised care from a doctor who understands you and your health. Many of the doctors practicing from this facility have a special interest in skin checks and treating skin conditions and have completed further study in this field. Both male and female doctors at IFMC now offer Skin Check appointments.
Why Choose Skin Check with a General Practitioner?
A GP is uniquely positioned to provide a personalised and thorough assessment.
-
Your GP Knows You: The doctors practicing from this facility have a comprehensive understanding of your medical history, lifestyle, and any previous skin concerns. This means they can spot changes or potential risks in the context of your overall health and provide tailored advice. They’re familiar with your family history, any medications you’re on, and any other conditions that could impact your skin, allowing for a more holistic approach to your care.
-
Ongoing Care and Follow-Up: A GP is always available to continue your care. Should a lesion need further investigation or if any concerns arise, you already have an established relationship with your doctor, making follow-up easier and more seamless.
-
Trust and Comfort: You’ve built a relationship with your doctor over time, making you more comfortable discussing any skin concerns. Whether it’s a sensitive issue or a question you might hesitate to ask elsewhere, your GP is the trusted professional who can guide you with care and confidence.
What to Expect During Your Skin Check:
-
Comprehensive Skin Assessment: Your GP will carefully examine your skin (including any lesions you are concerned about), taking into account your personal health history and any risk factors.
-
Education & Advice: Your GP can discuss the signs of skin cancer and other common skin conditions, providing you with practical advice on skin care and sun safety.
-
Clear Next Steps: If any concerns arise, your GP will discuss the best course of action with you, and when to follow up with them.
Your skin health is just as important as any other aspect of your wellbeing. With a GP Skin Check, you’re not just getting a thorough skin exam—you’re receiving personalised care from a doctor who understands you and your health.
