In this podcast, Dr. Ally Larkin, Dr. Carol Mansfield, and Dr. Robyn Cohen discuss their experience implementing Single Maintenance and Reliever Therapy (known as "SMART" or "MART"). SMART is included in the 2020 updates to the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Asthma Management Guidelines and the 2021 updates to the Global Initiative for Asthma Strategy. In this discussion, they cover how they implemented SMART into their clinical practice, challenges they've faced making the change, how SMART has improved asthma management and control for their patients, and advice for providers seeking to implement SMART into their own practices.

I was so honoured to have this opportunity to talk with the inspiring Destiny Muhammad, who is a California-based jazz harpist and composer. You'll get to hear inspiring stories from her life as well as her music. She had a dream to play the harp but didn't have the opportunity until she was 30 years old. She speaks openly about the challenges in the 1980s due to the crack cocaine trade, her success as a barber, her determination and mentors including John Handy, and her unique perspectives in celebrating the legacies of Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. When we recorded the episode, I experienced an incredible private concert including several of her original tunes. However, after we listened to the tracks, we agreed it would be even better if she were to record the music separately to have the best possible harp sound, which she generously agreed to do.

Tourism Minister Stuart Nash is considering raising the levy overseas tourists pay to enter the country, and says he wants tourists to be spending about $300 a day.Earlier today, Nash outlined his vision for the future of the industry including how to make tourism more sustainable.He also wants to make sure New Zealanders don't have to pick up the cost of hosting international visitors, which could mean differential prices at some tourist spots.Nash told RNZ the $35 levy foreign tourists paid would have to rise, but he would not be drawn on how big an increase he was considering.He also said people who visited New Zealand and bought vans which were not self-contained and spent as little as $10 a day were "not really the sort of tourists we want"."Now it doesn't mean that we're going to close the borders of course, for those who spend $10 a day ... but those who will be targeted will be those who spend money in our communities, and what we call high value tourists," he said."There is a difference between high value and wealthy, of course. Some people for whom New Zealand is a dream destination that saved up for this their whole life, they're coming over here to have a wonderful experience and we will deliver on it. So please don't confuse high value with high net worth or high wealth."A protest had been planned for Stuart Nash's tourism event today, but the rally was cancelled in response to the prospect of a transtasman bubble starting in April. Photo / James AllanNash said the $300 estimate included accommodation. "You know, what I'm talking about is people who are coming into our communities, spending money, enjoying themselves, adding value."He said he had been told by airlines people who spent as little as $10 a day were unlikely to visit New Zealand in the near future anyway as air travel would be too expensive.Big talk, but businesses want actionQueenstown businesses said Nash's new vision was a promising game plan, but they wanted to see action.Nash, speaking at a tourism policy school in Queenstown today, said his plans included a shake up of pricing for visitors that could see fees added to national parks, and flagged work on a nationwide bed tax.He was clear - business as usual was not an option for the tourism industry.His vision set out four main areas to tackle - he wanted to see tourism become more sustainable, ensure Aotearoa was at the top of the world's most aspirational destinations, for New Zealanders not to pick up the tab of hosting visitors and to have more partnership between the Government and the industry.Nash has raised similar points before, but the details include the potential for Australians to pay the $35 tourist tax and adding fees to national parks for international visitors.He also flagged that work was under way on a nationwide bed tax, which he said Queenstown had shown an appetite for."I am doing some work on this, but not just for Queenstown... nationwide. We're trying to find a way that would make it easier for councils to make their own determination around whether they wanted to do this or not."But we wouldn't introduce the bed tax ourselves."Nash floats different pricing for locals vs touristsNash was also interested in attractions offering different prices for locals."A number of us have travelled internationally and we all know that most countries actually have an oversea's visitor differential and a local differential. There are some places here that do," Nash said."But I would like to see more of that because... I think we really under-value what we have in this country and we do so at our own peril."Aotearoa could be smarter about targeting international tourists while at the same time ensuring New Zealanders were not deterred from attractions, he said.iFly Indoor Skydiving Queenstown managing director Matt Wong said he was not on board with differential pricing."I think it would be extremely negative.
