Advance Care Planning - Titahi bay Library

Melanie from Porirua City Centre

🗣️ Have you had the important conversation with those you love about what matters most at the end of life?

As part of Dying Matters Week, Sean Thompson is facilitating a free Advance Care Planning session - a chance to explore your values, ask questions, and make plans while you are well for the care you would or would not want in the future.

📍 Porirua – Wednesday 3rd September
🕑 2pm–4pm, Titahi Bay Library

These informal, supportive sessions are a great opportunity to:
âś… Start your Advance Care Plan
✅ Understand why it matters — for you and your loved ones
âś… Learn how this simple step can make difficult decisions easier in the future

Come along and take the first step — because planning ahead matters and dying matters.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
