Looking for research participants
Kia ora, I'm looking for people with advanced cancer to participate in two studies I'm running, funded by the Cancer Society.
They are both about end-of-life experiences of two different groups of people who have life-limiting cancer:
1. Those who have chosen not to have hospice services involved or those whose referral has been declined by hospice.
2. Those who are seeking assisted dying.
Given the COVID situation and the health status of the participants, we will be conducting the interviews online. This means participants can be based anywhere in NZ.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
I have received ethical approval for each study from the Northern B Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
If you are able to share the study flyers with anyone you know who meets the study criteria, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for considering my request.
Ngā manaakitanga, all the best,
Jessica

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
