Laughter yoga? I know, sounds out there for a hospital but it’s happening today at 11.30am in the Ko Awatea Lecture Theatre with none other than Bob Harvey. That’s right, Bob Harvey. And if you missed the salsa lesson yesterday there’s always Tai Chi tomorrow morning. Or the aptly named Wake up, smell the roses, and tantalize your senses senseless! session, which provides insights into how and what takes your edge off with quick, easy and effective techniques.

Thursday 25 September will remain firmly etched in my mind as I was told of the disappearance of a five-day-old baby from our Maternity Ward at Middlemore Hospital. While the baby was safety returned to its parents, thanks to CCTV and the prompt action of staff, security and police it was a harrowing time for the parents and staff involved.

Every day I meet pregnant women and while they all share this fact, their circumstances vary considerably. Some planned their pregnancy, sometimes for more years than they can remember, but many haven’t. Most are happy, even though they weren’t truly “planned”, others have difficult decisions to make and many are resigned to having another mouth to feed.

I’m a committed greenie, I mean it’s my job, but it’s also something I’m committed to in my personal life. A core part of our sustainability programme, Practising Sustainable Healthcare, is managing waste by either reducing it (ultimate aim), recycling or, better still, upcycling i.e. giving waste a second life.Debbie Wilson

Last week the children from the crèche and Kidz First helped me roll the big red Stoptober ball through Middlemore Hospital. Truth be told the kids actually took the ball off me – who was I to argue! The event was in support of Stoptober – a national campaign, which aims to get smokers to give up the cigarettes for an entire month, starting 1st October.

Next month is Stoptober. Stop-what? Before you dismiss it because it seems like every month has a cause attached to it these days, I’d like you to give me a few more minutes of your time.

Imagine if Auckland was radically different from today’s city. Imagine a beautifully constructed city built around the harbour, with extensive public transport like the best European cities, and a mix of affordable dense and open space living. This vision actually belonged to Ernst Plischke, who created it in the 1940s.

I wish someone had had the awkward conversation with me when I was in my teens, letting me know that I needed to stay at about 77kgs for the rest of my life to reduce risk of obesity-related disease. At my current height, the National Heart Foundation BMI calculator says I need to be 77 kgs if I want to be “healthy”. The truth is, I haven’t been 77kgs since I was in my teens. I did ask the computer screen if it took account of my Pacific bone density, my muscle weight (ha ha) and the fact that it’s in my DNA to eat taro and yams in coconut cream, pineapple half-moon pies and drink good Waipara pinot noir. Unfortunately, the computer said NO.
