Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign that takes place in October to raise awareness about breast cancer and promote early detection and treatment. Our Bondi Road Doctors and GPs would are raising awareness this month by:
- Promoting Patient Education: Our Bondi doctors & GPs opportunistically talk about breast health, including the importance of regular breast self-exams, and when to schedule mammograms and clinical breast exams. They can provide information on risk factors and lifestyle changes that can reduce the risk of breast cancer.
- Our Bondi medical team are participating in workshops, seminars, and educational events to provide information about breast cancer, its symptoms, and the benefits of early detection.
- Our Bondi medical centre staff are participating in fundraising efforts to support breast cancer research, treatment, and patient support services such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
- Our Bondi GPs encourage regular check-ups and screening by sending reminders to patients. This is especially important for higher risk breast cancer patients and those with a positive family history.
- At Ocean Medical Practice Bondi – our Doctors provide emotional support and guidance to patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Our GPs can guide patients to understand their treatment options and connect them with support groups and resources.
We hope to raise awareness during breast cancer awareness month to promote early detection and prevention strategies, to fight against breast cancer.
