Here are three places you can go to if you're feeling unwell this winter:

1️⃣ Book an appointment with your GP or doctor if you're generally unwell
2️⃣ Ask your local pharmacist for advice and treatment for common health issues

Meet 7-year-old Hunter, a recent recipient of our St John in Schools Courage in Action Bravery Award 🏆

Fieldays isn't just about tractors, gumboots and innovation - it's also about the health and wellbeing of rural NZ 🇳🇿

In many rural communities, we are the frontline of the health system with almost 1 in 3 ambulance incidents happening in rural or remote areas 🚑

These communities face unique challenges, including longer travel times and increased vulnerability when weather or geography disrupt access to care.

That's why building community resilience is such an important part of what we do. Whether it's teaching CPR and defibrillator skills, supporting people to stay independent through medical alarms and falls prevention programmes or providing transport to medical appointments through our Waka Ora Health Shuttles - we're helping communities build the knowledge, skills and confidence to respond when it matters most.

If you're heading to Fieldays this weekend, swing by the Hauora Taiwhenua Health & Wellbeing Hub and say hi to our team👋

Have you seen one of these? 🚑

First response units play a vital role in the way we deliver patient care in rural and remote communities.

Our volunteer First Response teams can quickly locate, assess, and begin to treat patients while another crew is on the way. This means quicker response times, leading to better outcomes for patients.
