In this edition of Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui

In Pānui this week we welcome 338 new graduate nurses – the largest group of graduates to date across the Waitaha Canterbury Health System. The new nurses are employed in a range of roles across the sector, including 132 at Te Whatu Ora.

We say farewell to Regional Director Hospital and Specialist Services Te Waipounamu Dan Pallister-Coward, and acknowledge the retirement of Professor Justin Roake, vascular and transplant surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Otago, Christchurch.

We also have the story of Bryan Clarke, an artist and long-term patient of Ward B6 at Christchurch Hospital who donated several of his artworks to the ward, and who sadly passed away last week. And in One minute with … we profile Team Leader Health Protection Officer Jimmy Wong.
