Poll: Should Waikato have a medical school?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It's been pitched before - a bid for a medical school in our region was made by the University of Waikato and Waikato DHB in 2016.

The idea has been put on hold and brought back to life before.

Now a new dean of health at the university has renewed the push and has backing from a city councillor.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
