Presentation on Heart Attack, Heart Disease Treatments, and Management

Trent Lash from Heartbeats

ONE IN THREE: Are you ready to beat New Zealand's biggest killer?

More people die of heart disease every year, than any other condition, including ALL cancers combined. Approximately 10,000 people: about 25% under the age of 60 years old.
About a third (3,000 people) die prematurely of heart disease because of lack of knowledge (source: Heart Foundation NZ).

The number of younger people under the age of 50, suffering heart attack and cardiac arrest is growing - heart issues are NOT AND OLD PERSONS DISEASE.

Join Trent Lash, Founder of Heartbeats Charitable Trust, for a myth-busting, potentially life-saving talk on this silent health crisis in NZ.
Walk away with knowledge, practical advice, and understanding on how to protect yourself, your family and whanau.

Hear from a heart event survivor with REAL, LIVED EXPERIENCE.
WHERE: Orewa Library
WHEN: Tuesday 25th November
TIME: 11:00am - 12 noon

Everyone is welcome, bring a friend, spouse, partner - DON'T MISS THIS. It could save a life - maybe even yours!

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...

The Team from New Zealand Police

As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.

Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.

There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”

A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
