Canterbury District Health Board is: the main planner and funder of health services in Canterbury; a tertiary provider of hospital and specialist services - both for the Canterbury population and also for the populations of other DHBs where more specialised services are unavailable; a promoter of our population's health and wellbeing; and the largest employer in the South Island, employing over 9,000 people across their services.
More than three years after that first earthquake struck Canterbury in September 2010, the Canterbury Health System is still in the midst of repairs, demolition and redevelopments. These significant projects affect all staff and people using their services in different ways. The landscape is altering regularly as damaged buildings come down, repairs and redevelopment work starts to take shape in other areas.
Canterbury DHB say, "We would like to say thanks to all Canterbury Health professionals for the important role they play in making sure Canterbury people continue to receive the right care in the right place at the right time by the right person despite the ongoing environmental challenges. We’d like to thank the people who use our services for their patience while we make our health facilities better."

- FESTA
- dc.description

The Festival of Transitional Architecture is a free, biennial public event that engages with the city of Christchurch by exploring urban regeneration through large scale collaborative projects and urban interventions. It is the first and only festival of its kind in the world.
Over the course of Labour Weekend, events, performances and projects happen across empty sites and in vacant buildings within the city’s four avenues, reintroducing life and urban activity to the centre. This rediscovery of the inner city invites a variety of collective investigations into the nature of civic life and opens it up to the community’s desire to participate in the remaking of their city.
This collection holds photographs, videos and site documentation of the first three FESTA events (2012 - 2014).

- People in Disasters Conference
- dc.description
-
The 2016 People in Disasters Conference was a joint venture between the Christchurch District Health Board (CDHB) and the 'Researching the Health Implications of Seismic Events' (RHISE) group. It showcased 'real life' stories from people working in health and emergency services and those who have lived through a disaster in their own town, city, or country.
The conference aimed to explore: the effectiveness of disaster planning and preparation; what cannot be planned for; and the short and long-term psychological and sociological impacts of disasters on casualties and responders.
This collection includes videos of the keynote speeches and plenary sessions from the conference, as well as the concurrent sessions that were held in the Conference and Events Hall.
