  • Hampshire Top Ten Things You Never Knew
    Ten things you never knew about Hampshire Famous for any number of reasons, Hampshire is also regarded as the birthplace of modern fly-fishing, wind-surfing and bird-watching. But here’s our list of Top 10 Things You Never Knew about the county… 1. Winchester - once King Alfred’s capital, and the venue for the marriage of Queen Mary I to King Philip II of Spain – has been crowned the best place to live in Britain by The Sunday Times. The cathedral city inspired John Keats to write his famous Ode To Autumn in 1819. Today, the ancient capital includes restaurants such as Chesil Rectory and Michelin-starred Black Rat. 2. Leckford Estate in the Test Valley was purchased by John Spedan Lewis in 1929, and has been farmed for over 87 years. Home to The Waitrose Farm, it’s a place where visitors will find a fabulous farm shop, café, a garden nursery in nearby Longstock, and see one of the finest water gardens in the world. Leckford village itself comprises around 40 houses and cottages, which are occupied by present or retired employees of the John Lewis Partnership, and are painted in the partnership colours of green and white. 3. 2017 will see the county mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Jane Austen. Less well-known is the fact that 50 years later, Sweet Fanny Adams was brutally murdered by solicitor's clerk Frederick Baker in nearby Alton. A couple of years later, new rations of tinned mutton - introduced to sailors in Portsmouth - failed to impress the seamen, who suggested it might even be the butchered remains of poor Fanny Adams.

  • Meet the Hampshire, Southampton, and Isle of Wight Complex Care Team
    Meet the Hampshire, Southampton, and Isle of Wight Complex Care team Our team consists of both clinical and operational staff who are responsible for commissioning the care provision for children and young people eligible for NHS continuing care up to the age of 18. We operate across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, excluding Portsmouth. Currently we are overseeing the care for approx. 116 children and their families across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It is important to us that the supported children and their families receive the best possible care. In the coming weeks we are hoping to engage with children and their families in our care to fully understand the barriers that they face with the service they received from us and any other services which are being provided. We are aware our families face issues and challenges around the care provided by our Care Providers, Direct Payments and employment of their own PA’s. Hampshire Parent Network and Parent Voice have generously offered to host a meet and greet session to look at the pressures families face on a day-to-day basis. This will help us try to address some of these issues which are within our remit. Our aim is that these meetings will continue on a regular basis so that we can build a relationship with families and better understand any issues faced from a family perspective. We have also commenced a co-production group which families can join for specific topics or on an ongoing basis. Our initial meeting will be held on Zoom on Monday 28 June, 11-12pm - here is the link Zoom meeting details: Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81922934944?pwd=OXl3c2lYeFpKOFJveWlBOU1qYy9hQT09 Meeting ID: 819 2293 4944 Passcode: NHS The initial meeting will not have a set agenda, as we would just like to get to know our families issues first.
