There were smiles all round in the paediatric surgery ward in Waipapa last week with the arrival of a remote-controlled ride-on car which will entertain the young patients and transport them to appointments, treatments and surgery.

Also, in this edition, we learn how a by-product of kombucha is improving clinical training in Waitaha Canterbury, and we meet six new kaiāwhina starting on the maternity ward at Christchurch Women’s Hospital this week. The New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) strike action proposed for Wednesday has been called off after nurses and midwives accepted the collective agreement offer.

We feature photos of a patient art exhibition held at Burwood Hospital last week and meet some tāngata rongonui Māori (famous Māori people) in the akoranga reo Māori.
