BIGGEST MORNING TEA

Earlier this month we hosted Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. The TCS team raised an impressive $1,254. The Biggest Morning Tea raises funds for life-saving research, prevention programs and support services for patients and their families. Thank you to the team for their generosity. It was a lovely afternoon and a great excuse to get everyone together over all some delicious food. We look forward to supporting the Cancer Council again next year.

Managing Haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids / Hemorrhoids also known as piles are probably more common than you think, with an estimated 75% of adults suffering from piles at some stage of their lives. Ageing, pregnancy and being over-weight are all factors that can lead to Haemorrhoids.

Changes in lifestyle such as changes to diet, exercise and digestive health care, can in many cases improve symptoms, but lifestyle changes take time, so what can be done in the interim to manage discomfort and pain of flare ups? As with all medical conditions, it is advisable to consult a health care professional before starting any treatment which for piles can range from simple topical treatments to surgery. A topical treatment often recommended to relieve the symptoms of piles is suppository medication; this may be prescribed medication or medication that is available over the counter from a chemist. Suppository medication is directly targeted and provides fast acting symptom relief, but inserting suppositories correctly can be a challenge and if done incorrectly can result in leakage and soiling of clothes and also bedcovers in care settings. A new suppository applicator called Sephure® has been designed to ensure the correct placement of suppositories. Sephure® makes it is easy for suppository medication to be self-administered, correct placement means users do not need to wear protective underwear. Sephure® can also be used by care givers as a quick, clean and secure means of suppository placement for their patients, correct placement is comfortable for the patient, avoids leakage and unwanted expulsion and reduces the potential of soiling of undergarments and bedlinen, maintaining patient dignity and saving cost and time. Sephure® can be used with most suppositories and is available in a number of sizes, a handy size guide can be found here https://www.tcsmedical.com.au/sephure/ along with further product information.

Business Clean Up Day

Recently our team at TCS Medical participated in Business Clean Up Day. As a company we are proud to do our best at protecting resources and the environment. We recognise that not only should we clean up rubbish that is already in our streets but more importantly focus on preventing as much rubbish as possible entering the environment in the first place.

At TCS Medical we have made many changes within our workplace. We now recycle our soft plastics as well as cardboard, hard plastic, glass etc; we compost our food scraps, and our staff can bring in old toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, batteries, pens and much more that we sort out and take to our local recycling depo.

If everyone starts to make changes, it will make a difference. We at TCS Medical will continue to make more environmentally friendly choices as we care for you and the environment.

Happy New Year 2021!

We recognise that 2020 has been a challenging and exhausting year. The fallout from the Coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent financial and emotional hardships have taken their toll on so many people, families and businesses. Many with health conditions have suffered the impacts of Covid-19, or had to isolate ourselves from family and friends and we are saddened by the loss of lives that have occurred from Covid-19 in Australia as well as around the world.

We feel fortunate to be living in Australia where the pandemic is being contained and controlled. There is also more good news on the horizon with the vaccine that will soon be made available for distribution.

TCS Medical would like to wish all our staff and customers the best of health and happiness in the coming year. We look forward to working with you all and supporting each other as we navigate a new normal for us all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from the team at TCS Medical.

Managing Constipation for Busy People on the Go

Constipation is not uncommon, hectic lifestyles, stress, anxiety, lack of activity, poor diet and use of some medications can all contribute to digestive issues including constipation. Constipation may cause discomfort and is often accompanied by tiredness and feeling sluggish and can even affect skin condition.

Prevention is better than cure, and simple lifestyle changes like increasing hydration, dietary fibre and exercise can often resolve mild symptoms, but as with all medical conditions, it is advisable to talk to a medical professional if your symptoms persist.

Various natural and over the counter medications are available to relieve constipation, one of the fastest action methods is the use of suppositories. Suppositories are inserted into the rectum, directly releasing medication and providing rapid relief, but positioning suppositories can be tricky and if not positioned correctly can cause embarrassing leakage and even expulsion of the medication before it has had time to work.

A new suppository applicator called Sephure® has been designed to combat these issues by making it easy to self-administer the suppository without the user having to lie down so treatment can be used when needed and doesn’t have to wait until you are at home. Correct positioning of the suppository means no leaks and helps to retain medication until it has time to be effective in producing a bowel movement.
