50+Lifestyle Expo

We made a stand....

.... and joined the huge array of exhibitors at the 50+ Lifestyle and Retirement Expo in Tauranga 25-26 September and in Auckland 16-18 October.

Seniors and "baby boomers" were treated to a bewildering and inspiring selection of health and lifestyle choices at both events - choices that involved everything from travel and tours to food and nutrition; attractions and activities to health and safety.

Many of the exhibitors at the Expos can also be found on New Zealand's Grownups website. Post the expo we decided to make a stand and feature on Grownups as well.

We'd like to thank everyone who took the time to visit us at the Expos, took part in our competitions and made the whole experience worthwhile for the teams on the Panacea stand.

NZQA Graduation

Six months ago, Panacea sponsored a selected group of our support workers to undertake the NZQA National Certificate in Community Services Level 2 and Level 3.

In November we celebrated the graduation of our successful NZQA candidates. The overwhelming feedback was that the courses were not as difficult as they thought it may have been, but really helped them to understand how to provide the very best care to their clients.

If you are interested in pursuing NZQA qualifications, please contact your Service Coordinator.

Staff Survey Winner

Thank you to all staff who replied to the survey that was recently sent to a specific group of Panacea staff. I really appreciate the time that was taken by you to complete the survey and feedback your thoughts.

We will analyse and consider the results over the next week. Within the next fortnight there will be feedback available and what actions that may be undertaken.

The draw was completed by Trish Neal and the lucky recipient of the hands free mobile car set is Nancy Parviour-Smith.
