How Dr Hannah approaches it
Preventive care begins with a focused review of your history, current health, family risks, medicines, lifestyle and health records. From there, Dr Hannah helps distinguish what is worth doing now from what can wait. This can include appropriate screening, vaccination review, risk reduction, lifestyle support and a plan for follow-up.
What matters most
Useful prevention should be specific. It should help people avoid missed opportunities without creating unnecessary anxiety or testing.
This information is educational. Screening and vaccination decisions should be personalised during a clinical consultation.
