Minutes of the Patient Participation Group Meeting Held on Monday 25Th February 2019 at Swan Lane Surgery LONG STRATTON & NEWTON FLOTMAN PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP The minutes of the Patient Participation Group meeting held on Monday 25th February 2019 at Swan Lane Surgery Members Present RB(chair), ST, JWil, JWin, SB, LP, TH, IM, JS, LS Apologies None Surgery staff present Dawn Brighton, Keith Burnett 1. Welcome and apologies The meeting opened at 6.35 pm. Oliver Cruickshank from South Norfolk CCG was welcomed to the meeting and the group introduced themselves to him. 2. Minutes of last meeting and matters arising The group were happy to sign-off the minutes from the January 2019 meeting. • The practice now has the plaques for the bike racks. • The practice have met with Health Watch re Dementia Awareness and becoming dementia friendly. New signage is in place. JWil asked if there was any news on the Dementia café in Wymondham. Dawn said there is a café in Long Stratton village hall held every 4th Tuesday of the month. • Toys are still to be purchased. They must be easily cleanable and the cleaning protocol evidenced. • The sponsored walk will take place 1st June. PPG members are welcome to participate or to help with refreshments at various points. • Both Dawn & IM have tried to contact JSy but no response. Dawn will send another email informing him that we assume he has left the group. 3. Practice News In addition to the 2 page report circulated earlier, the following points were raised. • Keith had just received the CQC report. The practice has maintained “good” in every category. The next full audit is 3-5 years away. A self-audit will be introduced in 2020 with annual returns based on documentation. JWil said the PPG would like to congratulate the staff on these results. • Keith explained more about PCNs and the new funding to extend services. • There have been favourable noises from the owners of the building with regard to expansion of the existing building. Nursing recruitment looks quite good but GP recruitment will be more difficult. It is more than likely that the practice will become more “nurse lead”. Keith is confident that the surgery is moving in a good direction to accommodate growth in patient numbers. • RB said she thought it was positive that that some of the GPs had been able to reduce their hours as this will hopefully prevent burnout. • There was a discussion on the triage system and call wait queuing. Dawn to investigate why the change to routine appointment booking in the call wait message is not reflected on the website. • The pharmacy has set up a new way of storing prescriptions ready for collection which is proving to be much more efficient. 4. Oliver Cruickshank Oliver circulated 2 documents. One with details of the “Community Wellbeing Hub” and the other with information on “Norfolk and Waveney Dementia Support Review”. • Oliver talked about how the CCG operates and involves patients. He agreed that IM’s points are legitimate and the CCG always struggles with engaging younger working people. They have tried evening meetings in the past, but they were not well supported. That doesn’t mean that they won’t be held in future. They use feedback online as well as at meetings. • JWil asked how Oliver sees the PPG being able to support and influence changes in primary care. Answer - they can shape or challenge change. • JWil asked about fund raising for Admiral Nurses & Oliver will look into this. The Practice still needs to know who their Admiral nurse is. • The Community Wellbeing Hub will be a point of focus for people going through a mental health crisis. The evening service will be up and running this autumn, daytime service April 2020. There will be space for 6 people and the average time to be spent there will be 2 hours. It is funded by the CCGs and Central Government. • LS asked about the prescription removal for coeliac products, some CCGs will pay for products but not South Norfolk. There is no support out there and products are very expensive. • Oliver left the meeting at 8.10. 5. Planning for next health information event • Dr Mark Tremelly and nurse Nicki Fisher are confirmed as speakers. Dawn is trying to contact both speakers. • We have a patient volunteer who will talk about her experience. • RB is still trying to get a speaker from the Quadrum Institute but if not successful then we could ask Mark to also include research. • Crohns have promised to supply literature. • We still need to identify a dietician as a speaker. • We will keep it low key “learn about your stomach and bowels from health care professionals”. • Dawn to create poster for PPG approval. • To be held at Long Stratton High School, 6.30 for 7pm start. PPG to be there from 6pm to help setup. • We will provide feedback forms on seats in order to assess what the evening has achieved for patients. IM suggested that GPs ask patients who arrive in the surgery during the following 6 weeks if their visit is as a result of the evening. • There will not be a raffle. 6. AOB • We have a new male member who will be joining the group. 7. Dates of next meetings PPG meeting and AGM Monday 29th April 6.15 for 6.30 The meeting closed at 8.45 pm. .

  • Stoke Holy Cross Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Plan
    Stoke Holy Cross Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Plan September 2012 2. Stoke Holy Cross Conservation Area Character Appraisal Introduction Under the terms of the Planning (Listed buildings and Conservation areas) Act 1990, the local planning authority is required to identify areas of special architectural or historic interest whose character or appearance it is desirable to preserve or enhance, and to designate them as Conservation areas. The 1990 Act also requires local authorities to prepare policy statements for conservation areas. These statements are to be more explicit and detailed than would be possible as part of a local plan, and seek to identify the components that give the conservation areas their special character. This character appraisal for Stoke Holy Cross covers the historical background to the mill and describes the significance of features in the area. The policies of the Council, and others, are noted, and it is hoped that the assessment will help to guide any future change. The conservation area at Stoke Holy Cross was originally designated in1975 but the initial conservation area appraisal was carried out in 1980 and reviewed in 2002. This review of conservation area in 2010 is being carried out in response to new guidance issued by English Heritage, which requires that conservation area character appraisals include management proposals. Value of the appraisal The publication of this appraisal aims to improve the understanding of the value of the built heritage. It also aims to provide potential developers and property owners within the conservation area with clearer guidance on planning matters and the types of development likely to be encouraged.

  • Greater Norwich Development Partnership
    Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Public Consultation Regulation 25 March 2009 Public Consultation - Regulation 25, March 2009 IMPORTANT NOTE – development of this document In 2007 and early 2008 the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP) undertook a considerable amount of work to develop a Joint Core Strategy for the area covered by Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk councils, except for the Broads Authority area. This involved a major consultation exercise from November 2007 to February 2008, looking at ‘issues and options’. The document which formed the focus of this work, and the summary leaflet, looked at possible approaches to a wide range of topics including different ways of accommodating the level of new development necessary to meet the requirements of the East of England Plan. This included looking at alternative locations where large scale development might be located in the area close to Norwich. The GNDP intended to produce a ‘preferred option’ for public consultation last summer. However, changes to the plan-making process in June 2008 meant that the preferred option stage was removed. To comply with the new procedures the Partnership carried out a technical consultation with statutory agencies, service providers, organisations that deliver infrastructure, and other key stakeholders in August 2008. It asked them for guidance to develop the ‘content’ of the strategy and asked whether our current approach is one they could support. Technical consultees were asked to consider three options for the distribution of major growth in and around Norwich and on major sites. During autumn 2008 the information provided by technical consultees and further results from evidence studies, were presented to Councillors from the four GNDP councils who agreed to publish the emerging Joint Core Strategy for full public consultation.This consultation document now includes the favoured option for large scale housing growth in and around Norwich, and on major sites (see Appendix 0 on page 59).

    Supporting LONG STRATTON MEDICAL PARTNERSHIP Tel: 01508 530781 www.longstrattonsurgery.nhs.uk NEWSLETTER (ISSUE 2 D UE TO CHANGE OF DATE TO H EART INFORMATION EVENING P G 4) JANUARY TO MARCH 2020 NEWS FROM KEITH —PRACTICE MANAGER Welcome to 2020 – a new decade and a new year – we would sincerely like to wish you all a very happy and healthy new year! Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our dispensing patients for their support and tolerance throughout the last quarter of 2019 whilst we got to grips with the issues in our dispensary. I am very pleased to report that we have a new Senior dispenser in place, and have a great team of people on board, all of whom are committed to giving you the very best service possible going forwards. Whilst this has been happening in the surgery, we are also very aware that our non dispensing patients – those who live within a mile of the Well Pharmacy – have had a number of issues with the service provided by them. May I please just take this opportunity to make it clear that it is not the fault of the staff down at the Pharmacy. They are genuinely trying to give the best service possible, but they are having issues with the way in which they have to operate. Due to legal reasons we are not allowed to dispense to any patient who lives within a mile of the Pharmacy and, although I have been collating feedback and communicating with the Well Pharmacy Head Office and the CCG, we do not have any direct influence over the service being provided.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • Donald George Warnes
    Donald George Warnes 2327 Private, 1st Norfolk Yeomanry Household Cavalry and Cavalry of the Line (incl. Yeomanry and Imperial Camel Corps) He died near Malta on 12th November 1915, aged 22 Donald died from fever on board Hospital Ship ‘Devanha’ at sea on active service He is buried at Pieta Military Cemetery, Malta. Donald is also commemorated on his parents’ grave in Starston churchyard The Warnes originally came from Long Stratton via Shimpling. Please bear with the variations in the spelling of the name, this is quite typical of the time and I thought in this history I would leave in the variations as they occurred! Going all the way back to 1777, the year after the Americans achieved Independence, Robert Warnes was born in Long Stratton. He married a girl the same age as himself, by the name of Charity. The couple went on to have 8 children, including our Reuben Snr. Having married young, in 1841, we find 22 years old Ruben Warnes Snr, his wife Sarah (a little older than himself), and their 2 years old son, Samuel, living in Shimpling. Well I say Shimpling but for this family Shimpling and Burston seem fairly interchangeable – they certainly tended to baptise their children at Shimpling Church. Ruben Snr calls himself a ‘Dealer’ which covers a multitude of sins but in this context almost certainly means a livestock dealer. This assumption is confirmed in the 1851 census when Reuben Walnes Snr, born Long Sttatton, details himself as a Cattle Dealer; this was in a time when huge droves of cattle would come across from Ireland and Wales and make their way down from Scotland to fatten up on the rich pastures and forage of East Anglia before making their way to London and the dining table.
