In this edition of Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui

Thanks to everyone who supported the Emergency Department over the weekend and our community for taking the ‘ED is for emergencies' message on board.

This week sees some changes to the eligibility criteria for the second COVID-19 booster. We look at having a personal spring clean and recognise Men's Health Awareness Month (Movember).

Also, in this edition, Te Whatu Ora farewells a much-respected Obstetrics Hospital Aide after a 48-year career and two clinical laboratory staff receive major professional honours. This week's te reo Māori lesson covers te reo hāpai, or ‘the language of enrichment', useful in the addiction, mental health and disability sectors.

For something a little different, there's a banana bread recipe and this week's quiz tests your knowledge of the world – geography, food, landmarks and more.
