Our Pregnancy and Antenatal Care services at Dural Family Medical Practice are here to support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy and afterwards. With a focus on personalised care, your team of GP's will offer regular check-ups and evidence-based advice at each stage, from pre-conception planning to post-partum care.
Please also have a chat with your GP if you are struggling to fall pregnant, have experienced miscarriage, or if you have experienced birth trauma or any perinatal mental health concerns. We are committed to helping you prepare for a safe labour and delivery, as well as being here for the entire journey. We are always available to confidentially explore any concerns around conception options, post-natal mental health, breastfeeding, lactation and bonding with your baby.
Skin Cancer & Melanoma Clinic
At Dural Family Medical Practice, some of our doctors have undertaken additional sub-specialisation training in skin cancer medicine and perform regular skin checks and skin cancer removals.
Skin checks are strongly recommended for all adults in Australia. Common risk factors for skin cancer include having multiple moles (naevi), having fair skin and hair colour, a history of past sun exposure(especially having grown up in Australia), and a family history of melanoma.
