The Canterbury Clinical Network tīma (team) had a magical Māori Language Moment for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week), with karakia (prayer) and waiata (song) and the sharing of pūrākau (myths and legends) and whakatauki (proverbs).

Life’s challenges can be difficult to overcome on your own, but an expanding team of Te Tumu Waiora Support Workers are walking alongside people who need a helping hand.

A new electronic resource has been developed to help lead maternity carer and core midwives access appropriate breastfeeding education, advice and support services for women and whānau in their care. 

The Canterbury Clinical Network is seeking a co-Chair for the Population Health and Access Service Level Alliance. Interested parties should submit their Curriculum Vitae and a cover letter before 20 September.

Some of the whānau (family) and hoa (friends) of the Canterbury Clinical Network recently completed 10 in-house sessions of Te Reo Māori with Damo (Damien Gilchrist) from the Risingholme Community Centre.

Last month members of the Hurunui Health Services Development Group went on a road trip to kōrero (speak) with the community about plans to set up a consumer and health provider hauora (health and wellbeing) advisory group.

Volunteers and team members for the Community Respiratory Service gathered last month (June) for their annual workshop and to recognise the valuable contribution of volunteers during Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu - National Volunteer Week.

Cantabrians have been asked to share their thoughts on what they and their whānau need for their health and wellbeing / hauora.
