Health Awareness Campaigns

Her Medical is taking part in a Cervical Screening Quality Improvement Project supported by Gold Coast Primary Health Network (GCPHN).

Cervical screening is a vital test that helps prevent cervical cancer. We know that some women fall behind with their screening, so we’re working to ensure our patients are up to date.

What We’re Doing

We’ve identified a group of patients who:

• Are aged 25–75 years

• Have attended our practice at least twice in the past two years

• Do not have a cervical screening test recorded in the last five years

Certain patients are excluded, such as those who have had a hysterectomy, opted out of cervical screening, or have a recent pathology result.

How We’ll Contact You

Patients who are due will receive a secure text message inviting them to book a cervical screening appointment. These messages are sent through Healthily GoShare, an Australian platform that meets RACGP privacy and confidentiality requirements.

We are sending invitations in small batches so that patients are not overwhelmed, and our team can provide the right level of support.

Your Choice

If you are contacted, you’ll be able to:

• Book a cervical screening appointment with your doctor or nurse

• Ask about the self-collection option, which some women prefer 4 Cyte Pathology will be assisting with the demand for self collect see link to 4 Cyte Pathology collections centre locations 4Cyte Pathology – Home

• Decline further contact if you do not wish to take part

Our team is here to support you. If you have any questions, please call the practice or speak with your GP or nurse.

Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of our nursing team at Her Medical. Their dedication, expertise, and compassion are the backbone of our practice. Here’s a special shout-out to our amazing nurses:

What we offer:

• Early fertility investigations (you do not need a referral to start)

• Pre-conception workups and genetic carrier screening

• PCOS, ovulation tracking, thyroid checks

• Conversations about timing, age, egg freezing — with no agenda

If you’ve been thinking about your fertility but haven’t done anything about it — this is your sign. Book in. Let’s start the conversation.

World Cancer Day is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness, improving education, and advocating for a world where cancer prevention, detection, and treatment are accessible to all. Cancer affects millions of lives, and for women, certain cancers—such as breast, cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers—pose unique challenges.

Many women delay screenings and check-ups due to busy schedules, fear, or lack of awareness, but early detection is one of the most powerful tools in the fight against cancer. Routine breast exams, cervical screenings (Pap smears and HPV tests), and awareness of genetic risk factors can significantly impact outcomes.

At Her Medical, we are dedicated to empowering women with knowledge about cancer prevention, early detection, and the importance of a proactive approach to health. We encourage all women to schedule regular health checks, be aware of changes in their bodies, and seek medical advice when needed. This World Cancer Day, let’s stand together in the fight against cancer—because when women take control of their health, they take control of their future.
