This weekend, some of the incredible women from our team laced up their running shoes and took on Round the Bays in Auckland 🏃‍♀️

It was a fantastic opportunity to step outside the workplace, support one another, and take part in one of Auckland’s most iconic community events. We’re proud to work alongside such a strong group of women who bring passion, dedication, and collaboration to our team every day.

Here’s to the women who continue to support, uplift, and inspire action, both in science and beyond.

This week is Heart Failure Awareness Week, an important time to raise awareness about a condition that affects hundreds of thousands of people across New Zealand.

Heart failure doesn’t mean the heart has stopped; it means the heart isn’t pumping as well as it should.

Knowing the symptoms can help people seek support earlier, including:
✅ Breathlessness during activity or rest
✅ Swelling in the feet, ankles, or legs
✅ Fatigue and reduced ability to exercise
✅ Sudden weight gain from fluid build-up

At Pacific Clinical Research Network, we encourage everyone to prioritise heart health through regular check-ups, healthy lifestyle choices, and early action when symptoms appear.

Your heart health matters - don’t ignore the signs.
