Hi guys,
The topic for the first Moovin' Health seminar for this semester is:
"Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Medicine" or, "Quacks, Crackin' Backs and Snacks".
It will be held at 7.30pm on Wednesday 1st of October at the Shepparton RCS lecture theatre.
For those unable to attend, the seminar will be recorded and a link put up, right here on the Moovin' Health Blog.
The idea of these seminars is to try and get some insight into some aspects of health care that aren't explicitly covered in the course, but are nevertheless issues that concern lots of patients (and therefore us too). Complementary and Alternative Medicine is extremely popular in Australia and is an important part of many peoples lives. However, there seems to be a bit of a gulf of mutual understanding between CAM and mainstream medical practitioners.
We have invited a naturopath, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist and Prof Bill Adams (yes, the Prof Bill Adams) to share their experiences with CAM and its interactions with mainstream medicine, as well as issues such as the role of Evidenced Based Practice, public funding of CAM and any questions you might have.
Snacks, vitamins, statins etc provided.
Please come along or listen to the recorded version on the Moovin' Health Blog!
Cheers
Dave Carmody and the Shepparton Moovin' Health Committee

Upcoming Community Events!
Greetings fellow Moovers and Shakers!
My name is Tom Fisher, and along with my brave comrade Jesse Zanker, we have been entrusted with the vital duties of Community Relations in Sheppaton in the coming year!
The club has lots of events in the pipelines at the moment and we encourage everyone to get involved in whatever capacity they wish.
In the near future, we have two activities coming up.
1. HIGH SCHOOL SEX ED.
Firstly, everyone's favourite school subject, Sex Ed!
Wanganui High School has invited us to be involved in teaching sexual education to Year 10 students during October, focusing on the topics of contraception and sexually transmitted infections.
This is a chance to really get involved in something worthwhile in the community, and it is a fantastic opportunity for the kids to talk to people a bit closer to their age about these difficult topics.
The classes will be held on Monday 13th (Contraception) and 20th (STIs) of October from 1.43 to 2.31pm and 2.31 to 3.20pm. If any of you are interested in being involved in these school visits, please get into contact with me or Jesse, or anybody else on the club committee.
2. TATURA BLUE LIGHT DISCO
The second event coming up is the sugar filled festival of fun, Tatura Blue Light Disco. What happens when kids get let loose in a community hall with $5 in their pocket, the latest music cranking, and a canteen full of tasty treats?
Well, we aren't going to tell you, you'll just have to find out for yourself by acting as a supervisor for the event! Duties involve sitting around, playing foosball, telling off kids who are naughty, and eating chocolate. At the end of the night after everything is cleaned up, they'll even feed you pizza for your hard work.
The Disco for September has been cancelled, which means the next one will be held on Friday the 31st of October (that's right, Halloween!) and runs from 6.30pm until 10pm.
Other events to keep an eye out for include the Relay for Life, manning the Shepp Iron Man Medical Tent, a blood drive, and more high school visits.
So go on, relate with the community... you know you want to!
