In this edition of Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui

There were smiles all round as an international visitor had a delightful reunion with her former surgeon and nurses – 52 years after life-changing treatment at Christchurch Hospital’s Spinal Unit. We also meet retiring Ashburton Hospital Staff Nurse Ros Gibb, who has seen a great deal of change over her 50 years of service.

We continue our International Women’s Day feature with four more profiles of women making a difference in Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora Canterbury Waitaha, and we catch up with two kaimahi who recently completed the gruelling Old Ghost Ultra endurance race.

In One Minute With … Occupational Therapist Louise Rutherford talks about her role supporting tangata whaiora at Hillmorton, and we hear about Simone Kinley’s new role dedicated to supporting the welfare and wellbeing of Specialist Mental Health Service (SMHS) staff.
