👋 ICYMI Our latest blog was written by our new head, Shoba John, who outlines what's to come from OAS in our efforts to positively impact healthy diet & weight for all ✅ ⏩

Innovative Trauma Care Inc. (iTClamp) #itclamp was designed to be easily applied for hemorrhage control of the scalp, neck and other compressible extremity wounds. The face, head and neck are tricky, and deceptively simple and can cause first responders to spend an unnecessary amount of time on scene. Anything that can be done to speed up transport to bright lights and cold steel is ideal....Especially TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING.

What will you do for your ❤️ during Heart Month? Here are some ways you can participate in Heart Month.

Today is the day!   A day 100 years in the making. A day filled with everything we have put into it: hard work, sweat, tears, determination, passion and heart. It is a day of joy. A day to celebrate science and research, volunteers and survivors. A day to celebrate all people everywhere whose lives we improve. A day to celebrate every member of the American Heart Association family.    Today marks 100 years since the founding of the American Heart Association on June 10, 1924.   CPR. Pacemakers. Heart transplants. Stents. Clot-busting drugs. Congenital heart defect repairs. Treatment. Prevention. Guidelines. Precision Medicine. Our organization has made all of them possible, and in doing so, we’ve cut cardiovascular mortality in half. Our Second Century will be a time of incredible breakthroughs, many unimaginable today, guided by our vision of “advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere.”   And we can’t wait to see where we’ll go and who we’ll be, 100 years from now.

“When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras.” These words, originally quoted by American physician Theodore Woodward, are the motivation behind our first public offering for health professionals.  We know that diagnosis of rare conditions can be difficult and this journey can take YEARS as people wait for specialist appointments and the care they need. Enter Seeing Stripes - an educational series for health professionals who are ready to make a difference. Over three enlightening sessions, we’re inviting like-minded general practitioners and physicians to join us to explore the intricacies of the presentation and diagnostics for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Each night will be facilitated by a member of the Zebras team alongside a guest presenter from our amazing network of medical specialists: Monday 1st July 2024 at 6:30pm: 🦓 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) with Melissa Williams and Dr. Kunal Verma Tuesday 6th August 2024 at 6:30pm: 🦓 Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)  with Claire Orian Weiss and Dr. Jason Lam  Thursday 19th September at 6:30pm: 🦓 Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) with Sophia Cartledge and Dr. Chris Ford Each 45 minute session will include: ✴ An overview of the condition ✴ What to listen for in the history, and extra questions to ask ✴ What to look for in the examination, and testing that can be done in practice  ✴ How to support someone through the process of diagnosis ✴ When to refer onwards, and who to refer to  ✴ Dedicated time for Q&A’s ✴ Light refreshments We’re opening our doors in Richmond to a limited - and we mean limited - number of people who wish to attend in-person. For those who wish to join from the comfort of home, we’ll also stream these sessions live.   The cost? Nada! All we ask is that attendees register through Trybooking for  in-person attendance (https://lnkd.in/dvU5UYJQ) or virtual attendance (https://lnkd.in/dPUtiEK7). We hope Seeing Stripes will lead to more primary care providers recognising rare conditions and feeling confident in providing or supporting the process of diagnosis.

When was the last time you had your eyes checked? This week is World Glaucoma Week run by the World Glaucoma Association. Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness. The aim of the week is to alert everyone to have regular eye and optic nerve checks to detect glaucoma as early as possible because there are available treatments for all forms of glaucoma to prevent visual loss. So come on gents, book in to get those eyes checked if it has been a little while, especially those who do not need glasses. If your optometrist bulk bills, Medicare will pay for: one eye test every 3 years, if you are under 65 years. one eye test a year, if you are over 65 years. Glaucoma Australia https://lnkd.in/gdezXX8
