Soft issue injuries and you!

Shorecare Urgent Care Smales Farm

Well the winter sports season has well and truly started!
We are seeing a lot of soft tissue injuries and most can actually be managed using the simple RICE acronym.

Rest (sit down)
Ice (ice the injured ankle for 20mins 3-4 times per day)
Compression (use a compression bandage)
Elevation (put your feet up!)

You can also use some simple pain-relief like paracetamol to ease the discomfort.

Keep this in mind over the weekend on the sports fields.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
