Skin Checks
The treating general practitioners and nurses are trained at detecting, treating, and preventing skin cancer. The patient attending a skin cancer check will have a biopsy test if necessary and is treated for their conditions. Furthermore, the Doctors perform repairs of skin changes due to sun exposure and precancerous changes. The biopsy and treatment procedures are performed using techniques that reduce the discomfort of the procedure.
The servicing Doctors focus on the early detection and treatment of skin cancer in Mackay. In New Zealand and Australia, skin cancer rates are among the highest in the world. In Australia, two in three people get skin cancer. Protect your family and yourself by learning about skin cancer. Don't wait until it's too late to take action.
Exercise Stress Test
You can use exercise stress tests to determine how well your heart handles physical stress. As a result, doctors can make more informed decisions about diagnosing a variety of potential illnesses by getting a better sense of your heart's strengths and weaknesses under pressure and what happens inside of it when you are exerting yourself through exercise.
In order to pump the blood throughout your arteries, your heart muscles contract and expand while you are exercising. Your heart may have trouble pumping enough blood and oxygen throughout your body if these arteries are restricted.
The test may be recommended by your doctor in order to diagnose certain conditions associated with the heart. Patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of cardiovascular problems can also use them to understand the risks they face.
Aviation Medicals
Pilots and aircrew are required to obtain one or more aviation medical certificates specific to their roles in order to ensure the safety of aviation. Aviation medicine is a specialised field in that it involves interacting with human physiological and psychological systems, as well as the aviation environment.
In occupational medicine, it is a specialised subfield. Human performance plays an important role in flight environments, and this vital element is the focus of aviation medicine. The focus of the study is on health consequences for pilots, aircrew members and passengers of aircraft.
Aviation medicals can be performed by the servicing Doctors at Shakespeare Medical Centre who specialise in aviation medicine. With their in-depth knowledge of the health issues in the aviation industry, the general practitioners take great care in taking care of the health issues of pilots, flight crew, passengers, air traffic controllers or airport and airfield personnel.
Cosmetic & Skin Care
The treating Doctors offer a range of aesthetic procedures to help you look and feel your best, including:
Medical skin analysis: The nurses will undertake a comprehensive assessment of your skin's condition that takes into account any determinants that may harm your skin, such as underlying medical conditions, skin type, history of sun exposure and the products you use every day.
Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT): This is a simple, non-invasive treatment that involves applying activating cream to lesions and then exposing them to a specific LED light source. A compound in the cream is absorbed by the abnormal cells. The light causes a chemical reaction that destroys those cells, minimising side effects and scarring.
Surgical excisions: In many cases, removing a lesion is the best and first treatment, particularly for those with skin cancer since it can not only cure the problem but also prevent it from returning.
Sclerotherapy: Small varicose and spider veins have been treated with this established medical procedure since the 1930s. An extremely fine needle is used to inject a special solution into your vein during sclerotherapy. As a result of the solution irritating the inner lining of the blood vessel, it collapses and sticks together, and the blood clots. The procedure requires little to no hospitalisation or downtime, and it is relatively inexpensive.
