While you are in Brook Medical Centre this year, your children are encouraged to find our Elf on the Shelf.
Mr and Mrs Elf is back this year and are already having lots of fun each night. If your children can spot our Elves while they are in the surgery, they will get a little surprise bag. Please help them join in the fun with our cheeky Elves.

This month we are bringing awareness Body Image and Eating Disorders by being Body Kind.
Body Image and Eating Disorders can affect males and females. Our thoughts on body image come from media, social beliefs and our upbringing.
At times we experience different feelings about our bodies. and appearance; negative and positive. The way we feel can change how we navigate through our day to day lives.
An eating disorder can develop due to a combination of factors including stress, cultural and family factors and from our body image.
Our Dietitian Kelly from Hunter Nutrition Specialists is here most Mondays and can assist with information on eating for recovery.
If you are concerned about yourself, a family member or friend, book an appointment to discuss this with your Doctor via HotDocs or by calling 65431222
Body Kind is a program run by the Butterfly Foundation.
Positive Tips for Body Image from the Butterfly Foundation:
You are so much more than your appearance.
Avoid making unhelpful comparisons.
Treat your body well, its the only one you get.
Keep yourself media and social media savvy.
Go easy on yourself and your friends.
Have fun with your appearance but don’t let it rule your life.
Surround yourself with people who accept you as you are.
