On the frontline of a pandemic: an essay by an Auckland hospital doctor
As a hospital doctor, I know that I will begin to be exposed to patients who don’t even know they are harbouring the virus.
Even when words don't seem enough, they matter.
Words matter - used properly words help us create connections, discuss ideas and bring communities closer together. They pave the way for issues to be debated, causes to be explored and understood, and they are the first step towards change.
There are many issues that matter – societal, environmental, economic, the list goes on. Our Words Matter is a place for you to contribute your view on these and to learn how we might overcome them to make a real difference in New Zealand.
