Health Promotion Events
BRAMS offers a wide range of health promotion events and activities to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community. Our health promotion activities are geared toward prevention strategies and promoting positive health messages, rather than focusing on people at risk of specific diseases.
Check the BRAMS Facebook Page and the Upcoming Events and News section for updates on forthcoming events.
Rheumatic Fever Strategy
BRAMS provides a range of activities aimed at the prevention of new and recurrent cases of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD), rather than just treating the progression and complications of the disease.
One of our Aboriginal Health Workers is responsible for:
- Delivering activities which increase community awareness and prompt people to seek clinical assessment and treatment (as required), and to take steps to prevent transmission;
- Implementing local partnerships with a range of community organisations around environmental health factors and chronic disease; and
- Developing and implementing evidence-based health education, promotion and social marketing campaigns.
