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)

Police apologise to rest home alleged theft victim after failing to act

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Police have apologised to a pensioner who caught a carer-turned-crook allegedly stealing cash, admitting there was more they could have done.

The about-face comes after the Waikato Times revealed the plight of rest home resident Lisa Allen, who set up a hidden-camera, capturing footage that appeared to show the caregiver opening her handbag and taking out a $50 note while the room was unattended.
