Looking for research participants

Jessica from Newtown

Kia ora, I'm looking for people with advanced cancer to participate in two studies I'm running, funded by the Cancer Society.

They are both about end-of-life experiences of two different groups of people who have life-limiting cancer:

1. Those who have chosen not to have hospice services involved or those whose referral has been declined by hospice.

2. Those who are seeking assisted dying.

Given the COVID situation and the health status of the participants, we will be conducting the interviews online. This means participants can be based anywhere in NZ.

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

I have received ethical approval for each study from the Northern B Health and Disability Ethics Committee.

If you are able to share the study flyers with anyone you know who meets the study criteria, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for considering my request.

Ngā manaakitanga, all the best,

Jessica

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
