Have you struggled to get an appointment with a GP recently? In this article IDS PhD candidate @jthomasmaude argues that the solution to our doctor shortage is not immigration changes but the need to address inequities and bottlenecks in medical licensing. https://t.co/IIUhjC0n20

Big questions asked by @ReginaNZ1, summer scholar Leilani Faaiuaso & @FijiApi at #DevNet2022 as to how we can reimagine tourism in the Pacific so that it complements Pacific peoples lives? Well done especially to Leilani for a stunning contribution!

Volunteer tourism, or "voluntourism", is coming back, but critics say the largely unregulated industry is overdue for change.

New research from @sj_mclennan (@MasseyUni) highlights problems with the commercialisation + commodification of volunteering. https://t.co/502eIxaapB

It is always exciting for us to hear from our students. Some great images here from Frankie Thompson before starting her fieldwork with a health facility in Madhuwan province, Nepal where she participated in the Nepalese Dashain festival. Good luck with the fieldwork Frankie!

Spring is a wonderful time to enjoy the @MasseyUni #Manawatu campus. @rochelle_sw & @ReginaNZ1 managed to drag 5 hard working IDS PhD candidates (the almost finished Phuong & SueAnn and the newbies- Jamie, Fenjie & Bronwyn) away from their desks to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Fiji may have the worlds friendliest COVID test for tourists, but in this article @FijiApi & I check behind the scenes - are Fijians getting the health services they need? https://t.co/J3AtbjoE1f via @ConversationEDU
