Travel Medicine

Dr Mark Sweet is a member of the Travel Medicine Alliance and Surrey Hills Medical Centre is an accredited yellow fever vaccine clinic. Your doctor will provide travel vaccines and travel health advice to prepare you for a healthy international experience. This means that when you book a specific ‘travel appointment’ you will be able to discuss the details of your trip with your doctor who will advise you on the best way to protect yourself while away.

Generally speaking you should see your travel doctor six to eight weeks prior to your departure date. But even at short notice it can be useful to see your doctor, as some vaccines and malaria medications can be given even the day before departure.

Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine works towards improving prevention, management, and treatment of chronic, complex and lifestyle-related conditions. ‘Lifestyle-related’ includes behavioural, societal, environmental and other factors.

Lifestyle Medicine is often described in terms of its ‘6 Pillars’ (diet/nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation, alcohol harm reduction, sleep and stress, and of course social connection).

A longer first appointment with Dr Andrew White is ideal to define the areas you would like to address, and further appointments can be scheduled to suit. Consider lifestyle medicine as part of, or complementing traditional medical practice.

Dr Andrew White has written an article explaining why food choices are so important in determining lifespan and quality of life. You can read his article here.
