The Team from St John New Zealand

St John on Neighbourly is a way to connect with our communities across New Zealand and keep the public up to date with news, information, and tips across our frontline Ambulance Services, first aid training, event medical services, AEDs (defibrillators), first aid kits and supplies, medical alarms,… View moreSt John on Neighbourly is a way to connect with our communities across New Zealand and keep the public up to date with news, information, and tips across our frontline Ambulance Services, first aid training, event medical services, AEDs (defibrillators), first aid kits and supplies, medical alarms, St John Youth programme, and a wide range of community and volunteer programmes.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. This year we’re raising awareness that bowel cancer can strike at any age.

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.
