UniMed is proud to partner with The Gut Foundation, supporting their mission to improve gut health outcomes through research into gut diseases and the delivery of education around gut health in New Zealand. 

Celebrate Good Gut Month

UniMed is proud to support The Gut Foundation’s Gut Check campaign, which aims to normalise conversations about gut health and encourage earlier action.

Join us to reduce the stigma around 'gut talk' and foster an environment where people feel safe to speak up and seek help. 

To get involved you can:

  1. Self Check: Monitor your bowel habits, energy and mood. Check you're getting enough fibre, drinking enough water, and staying active.
  2. Professional Check: Consult your GP about what’s normal for you and screening options like CT Colonography.
  3. Social Check: Start the kōrero with whānau, friends, and colleagues to normalise gut health discussions. Encourage others to schedule a check-up.

Consider sharing the campaign posters provided around your workplace or with whānau and friends to spark a conversation. It could save a life.
