Asthmatics needed for clinical trial

Andre Chivell from Waikato District Health Board

This International study is investigating the treatment of asthma and is being run through Waikato Hospital.

The purpose of this study is to test the theory that asthma control can be achieved, or even improved, by taking your inhalers when you need them rather than taking them regularly, regardless of asthma symptoms.

This study will run for 12 months and involve 7 visits. Most visits will take less than an hour, although the first visit may take slightly longer.

You will need to be:
•18 – 75 years
•Diagnosed with Asthma
•Using a reliever (eg: blue Inhaler like Ventolin)

Participants will receive study related medication free of charge and be reimbursed for reasonable travel costs for each study visit.

To find out more please contact:
Dr Hollie Ellis - hollie.ellis@waikatodhb.health.nz
Chris Tuffery - christine.tuffery@waikatodhb.health.nz

The study has been approved by the Northern B Ethics Committee (ref. 15/NTB/96)

Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.

The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
If you witness vandalism in progress, please contact the police immediately.

We want to know: Do you have ideas on how we can better protect our public spaces?
