Have you registered for your My health record? Having a My Health Record means your important health information like allergies, current conditions and treatments, medicine details, pathology reports or diagnostic imaging scan reports can be digitally stored in one place. Healthcare providers like doctors, specialists and hospital staff can see these details online from anywhere at any time when they need to, such as in an accident or emergency. What you need to know: Your important healthcare information will be available in one place online that is easily accessible by your authorised doctors, specialists, or hospitals. Even if you move or travel interstate, the information can be viewed securely online, anywhere, any time. If you want, you can access your health information from any computer with an internet connection. You control who can see it. Once it’s set up you don’t need to do anything. In a medical emergency, healthcare providers connected to the My Health Record system can see your health information to provide you the best possible care quickly. If you want, you can list any allergies, adverse reactions and medical conditions you may have to help healthcare providers give you better advice and treatment. You won’t need to worry about having to remember and repeat your health history like medicines, details of chronic conditions, and dates of recent tests with different or new healthcare providers. The same goes for your children’s health history like immunisations and medical tests. You can register online for a My Health Record for you or a child at any time, otherwise the receptionist at any Medical One centre will assist you. Don’t forget to ask your GP to upload your My Health Record at your next consultation. https://myhealthrecord.gov.au/internet/mhr/publishing.nsf/Content/find-out For additional details, there is a help line provided: 1800 723 471

Don't forget to ask someone today... Staying connected and having meaningful conversations is something we can all do. You don't need to be an expert - just a great mate and a good listener. So, if you notice someone who might be struggling - start a conversation. Small acts of kindness like listening without judgement and providing support could make all the difference to someone struggling with a mental illness.

#itsokaytotalk Meet part of our IT team at Medical One Support Office, Ian, Anthony & Johnny. They are standing up for Men’s Health. These guys weren’t individually nominated however the craze behind this social media campaign stems from Luke Ambler, the rugby league player who is urging men to talk about mental health problems & wants to halve the rate of male suicides in five years. In 2014, there were 2,160 males and 704 females that died by suicide, a total of 2,864 deaths which equates to an average of 7.8 deaths by suicide in Australia each day. Teens and young adults who live with mental illness can feel hopeless and alone. Because of the stigma attached to mental illness, it’s often hard for those suffering and their families and friends to talk about what they’re going through. But help is available, and it works. The following services are available to support and assist people from various groups and communities who are facing mental health difficulties. http://www.mentalhealthcommission.gov.au/get-help.aspx Source: The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), released 8th of March 2016.
