National Bowel Cancer Screening Program
The Cancer Council recently ran GP education at Glen Iris Medical Group on the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. We learned that our area – South East Melbourne has one of the the lowest screening rates within the program. We also learned that if 100,000 people without symptoms screen for Bowel Cancer with a simple test kit – the statistics show there will be 19 deaths in that population. If 100,000 people have no screening at all, there will be 60 deaths within that population.
Holiday Period
All the Doctors and Staff at Glen Iris Medical Group would like to wish all our patients a happy, healthy and safe holiday period.

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in women choosing to preserve future fertility through a process commonly referred to as ‘egg freezing’.
Egg freezing allows a woman to store mature eggs for an indefinite length of time. The aim being to allow a woman a chance of achieving a pregnancy at a later stage of life.
