St John's message this winter

The Team from St John New Zealand

St John on Neighbourly is a way to connect with our communities across New Zealand and keep the public up to date with news, information, and tips across our frontline Ambulance Services, first aid training, event medical services, AEDs (defibrillators), first aid kits and supplies, medical alarms,… View moreSt John on Neighbourly is a way to connect with our communities across New Zealand and keep the public up to date with news, information, and tips across our frontline Ambulance Services, first aid training, event medical services, AEDs (defibrillators), first aid kits and supplies, medical alarms, St John Youth programme, and a wide range of community and volunteer programmes.

This winter, St John urges the public to prioritise health & wellbeing. The most important thing you can do is be immunised against influenza and seek advice from a health professional if you are unwell. Each winter the surge of 111 ambulance calls continues to increase, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments.

St John has issued five key messages to the public to help them look after themselves and each other this winter – read them here: goo.gl...

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. This year we’re raising awareness that bowel cancer can strike at any age.

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.
