Mōhio Practice Health Target Dashboard	Mōhio have recently deployed web-based Health Target Dashboards that display individual Practices’ results for health targets. The unique link for your practice dashboard has been emailed to the practice manager or the practice principal. If you have any questions about the dashboard or if you would like the link to your practice dashboard, please email erin@aucklandpho.co.nz. Please note, due to ongoing issues specifically with data from NCSP and AIR, the data for HPV/CX and Immunisations may not truly reflect the current state for your practice.
Falls Prevention	Falls prevention is everyone’s business – Ask, Assess, Act It’s Falls prevention month and a reminder to take notice when patients are unsteady of their feet.  Start a conversation about falls and the risks. Inform them about ACC’s free digital balance app ‘Nymbl’ The app enables people to regularly do balance exercises, wherever they are and whenever they want. The exercises improve balance and enable them to keep doing the things they love.   The app will take them through simple body movements that are easy to fit into a daily routine. It is completely free and simple to use, and enrolling is easy. Encourage people to take part in the app-lead balance activity regularly (10 minutes a day). Share the app or the website: Nymbl Mōhio has a Falls Assessment Form and Referral information can be found here.
