Exploring the depth of palliative care qualifications in our dedicated clinical team

Written By Kim Manunui

Palliative care is a specialised branch of healthcare focusing on improving the quality of life for patients with life-limiting illness. To deliver this level of care, our Hospice nurses need a deep and varied skill set of medical expertise. Palliative care nurses need a specialist palliative care certification and be experienced to provide psychological and emotional support, spiritual care, pain and symptom management, interdisciplinary teamwork, cultural competence as well as end-of-life care considerations.

Three of our nurses have studied and achieved their post graduate palliative care diplomas this year. This brings to 7 the number of nurses available to our community to provide this advanced level of care in a highly specialised area. Post Grad qualifications mean our nurses have learnt expert assessment and diagnostic skills to be able to work with specialist doctors, general practitioners, the patients and their families to form a care plan best suited for the patient. Our nurses are qualified experts in their field and play leadership roles.

We are proud at Lake Taupo Hospice to have this depth in our dedicated clinical team.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
