#hauora New ADHD prescribing rules to improve access – Waatea News: Māori Radio Station Role funding: From February 1, new prescribing rules for ADHD stimulants came into force, aimed at improving access to treatment across Aotearoa.

#Hysterectomy - hormones all over the place. Cut back oestrogen because of a two day headache - now 25mg. Today no headache.

Might need something for anxiety. I have appointment with GP in new year.

Today prescribed myself dancing to loud music and a hīkoi. #Hauora

#Hysterectomy update - recovered from infection and after 2 months feeling pretty good! Today I threw out all my period pants. No more bleeding for me. Hormones still a little out of wack. Let the next stage of life begin. #Hauora

A person with dark hair styled in space buns and round glasses stands smiling in a bright, plant-filled interior space. They wear a black WIPCE2025 t-shirt and a vibrant yellow tartan skirt with black, red and green checks, paired with red and pink shoes. Colourful tattoos are visible on their arms. Behind them, a bold print by Xoë Hall featuring Māori tuupuna in primary colours hangs on the wall, alongside other framed art. Large indoor plants including monstera frame the scene, and decorative items including a patterned basket are visible in the home setting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Measles is entirely preventable. This isn’t about individual choice, it’s about public health infrastructure, trust, & equity.
Outreach, funding, & Māori & Pasifika-led delivery save lives.
Policy failure costs them.

A crafting station set up on a pink sofa near a window, featuring an open salmon storage case filled with embroidery floss and supplies, a smaller pencil case with colorful threads, a clear plastic organiser with thread, an ‘ALOHA’ decorative tin, a floral-decorated journal with stickers and washi tape, a copy of ‘The Call’ by Gavin Strawhan and a fluffy cream-colored rug. A yellow ottoman is visible beside the sofa, and there’s a purple journal in the background.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fuzzy headed today! Looking at art books and thinking about stitching but can’t get started. Cutting back on pain meds! Took dressings off. Lovely shower. Aim to go for short hīkoi later. #Recovery #hauora #hysterectomy

A relatively calm ocean. A small swell as waves roll gently in to shore. A swimner looks out to the horizon at pink tinged clouds. A few white clouds gathering in the blue sky above. To the left is a tree covered headland
