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.

Today is World Cancer Day, a reminder of the importance of coming together to reduce the impact of cancer in our communities.

One of the most powerful tools we have is early detection.
✅ Regular health checks
✅ Cancer screening programmes
✅ Knowing what changes to look out for

Screening can help find cancer early, when treatment is often more effective.

At Pacific Clinical Research Network, we encourage everyone to take advantage of available screening and to speak with their GP about what’s right for them.

💙 Looking after your health starts with awareness and prevention.

Clinical Trials 101 – What is a Clinical Trial?

Clinical trials are highly regulated, carefully designed medical studies that help researchers learn about and discover better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat certain diseases and health conditions.

Clinical trial volunteers play an extremely vital role in shaping the future of healthcare. Research would not be possible without participants like you.

New Zealand has some of the highest obesity rates in the OECD, with around 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 8 children affected, and the numbers are still rising (MoH, 2024). Obesity disproportionately impacts Māori, Pasifika, and communities in higher-deprivation areas, highlighting the urgent need for research into more effective treatments that are accessible to everyone.

Being obese or overweight is not a personal failure. It’s influenced by genetics, hormones, environment, health systems and lifestyle. Obesity is a precursor to many long-term health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and some cancers.

Clinical research helps us better understand treatment options and support pathways. If you are overweight or obese, sign up for our volunteer database to be notified when you are eligible for a potential new obesity/weight loss treatment.
