Start of the summer holidays - who’s ready for juggling parenting and work?!

I’m working on a clinical refresher session for nurses identifying rapidly deteriorating conditions ahead of terminal phase - so quiet river thinking time is much needed. #PallCare #NurseSky #DistrictNurse #WorkingMum

Health New Zealand under fire for inaccurate palliative care recruitment claims The agency said it was advertising for a specialist doctor for dying children, but there were no ads online until after the shortage was revealed publicly.

This is so sad. Palliative care services are under-resourced across the lifespan, with need forecast to increase every year. Our health system is crumbling. The suffering of dying children is reduced to political point-scoring. #Kikorangi #HealthNZ #MedSky #HAPC #PallCare
