In this edition of Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui

In the first of a series on our Canterbury Waitaha Disability Steering Group, we meet Independent Chair Grant Cleland, who brings his life-long lived experience of disability to improve the experience of the health system for disabled and Deaf people and their whānau.

There’s a long weekend coming up, so check up on how you can access healthcare if you’re away during the holiday break. We share photos of the colourful characters and the action on the water from the annual Paediatric Boat Race on the Avon River.

In One minute with … we meet Radiation Therapist Renee Smith, and we introduce the Refugee Health Service, a confidential and free health service from Pegasus Health that’s helping former refugees access healthcare in Christchurch and Ashburton.
