Engagement to Date Presentation Engagement to Date Presentation Morecambe Bay CCG Aims and Objectives This presentation will highlight the engagement activities carried out on behalf of Morecambe Bay CCG. Summer 2018 continued We continue to support the Carnforth Community Choir which is a community led initiative where people use singing to improve their physical, mental and emotional health. The Choir was set up by a member of the community, following a series of public events organised by Morecambe Bay CCG. The group has gone from strength to strength and recently put on a sell out concert raising £800 for the local Samaritans. Summer 2018 continued • Members of Morecambe Bay CCG continue to attend the South Lakeland Health and Wellbeing Forum which includes members from organisations in the public sector, county council, schools and third sector organisations – in order to encourage partnership working and share knowledge and resources across the area. • The July meeting included an extended discussion about the NHS Integrated Care Communities and the County Councils’ Community Wellbeing Groups; looking at how we can work better together and have a more joined up approach. Summer 2018 continued • Following a long period of high temperatures, members of the team at Morecambe Bay CCG produced and shared a press release advising the public on how to stay safe in the heat this summer. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/2lS2RMY Morecambe Bay CCG supported the Cumbria Police domestic abuse awareness campaign which ran throughout the World Cup. The campaign involved sharing the message of ‘Love the Game, Love your Family’ which underlines that no matter what the result, football should never lead a person subjecting loved ones to abuse or violence.

The teams continue to use their health coaching skills, along with the Patient Activation Measurement Tool which allows them to tailor their approach to meet the needs of their patients and also monitor any changes. In the first five months (early February until the end of June 2018) the total number of patients with a PAM score within this service was 141 and 24 of those patients have completed a second PAM questionnaire. Out of this number, 62.1% of patients improved their PAM score following health coaching. • Along with other CCGs in Lancashire and South Cumbria, Morecambe Bay CCG have been seeking the views and experiences of NHS hearing aid users with age related hearing loss, over 50 years of age, to help understand what NHS hearing aid services are like locally and to help improve them. The views of NHS Hearing Aid users have been gathered using an online survey which was produced in partnership with patients. Read more: https://bit.ly/2vcaXVC Summer 2018 continued • Members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team supported the Barrow Integrated Care Community teams to organise, promote and run the ‘Be Well’ Festival in Barrow in Furness. The day brought over 550 local people together to join in a variety of activities including health MOT’s, healthy eating and different sports. There was also a wellbeing market place packed with stalls offering all types of wellbeing information and freebies. The event gave us an opportunity to speak to local people, to ask ‘How can you help make Barrow a happier and healthier place?’ Summer 2018 continued rd • This summer saw the 3 annual Visitors were also asked what makes a Carnforth Health and Fun Day which Happy and Well Community which was met took place on the 28th July at Carnforth with a wide range of responses: High School. Members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team supported the local Rotary by arranging lots of stalls with health information and arranging for free NHS Health Checks to be available. Residents were able to take part in activities including Nordic Walking, Pilates and chair based exercises (there was even a magic show for the children). Visitors were invited to join the CCG’s MyNHS membership scheme so they could find out more about what's happening in their local NHS and how they can get involved. Summer 2018 continued • In June, members of the Morecambe • Members of the public were also asked: Bay CCG team supported Kendal “What makes Kendal a happy and Integrated Care Community (ICC) by healthy place to live?” accompanying them at their stall at the Kendal Unity Festival on 23 June. • The Kendal Unity Festival was designed to celebrate the strengths and diversity of the people of Kendal by building community cohesion, celebrating diversity, fostering good relations and promoting understanding between and within its diverse communities. • The stall was there to help people understand what Kendal ICC is and what it does in the local area and visitors were invited to join both the CCG’s MyNHS membership scheme as well as the Kendal ICC newsletter so that they could find out more about what's happening in their local NHS and how they can get involved. Summer 2018 continued • Along with other CCGs in Lancashire and South Cumbria, Morecambe Bay CCG have been asking people to give their feedback and ask questions about the proposed changes to variety of policies including: i. The supply and funding of insulin pumps ii. Provision of continuous glucose monitoring and flash glucose monitoring iii. Management of back pain We have gathered the views of residents using an online survey which has been promoted by a press release, on our website and using social media. Read more: https://bit.ly/2AF32oU A focus group took place which was attended by people with lived experience of Diabetes from across the Morecambe Bay where they were able to ask questions and raise concerns. Summer 2018 • Members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team met with representatives of the Student Union at Lancaster University. This enabled the team to build relationships and explore how to meaningfully engage with the local student population. • Members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team completed a “train the trainer” programme giving them the skills to provide health coaching and activation skills training to the wider workforce across Morecambe Bay. This training will support staff by giving them the ability to utilise health coaching approaches in delivering care in a more person centred way. Spring 2018 continued • Morecambe Bay CCG worked in partnership with Lancaster CVS and Cumbria CVS to organise two third sector events for NHS colleagues and representatives of the third sector. The events enabled attendees to gain a deeper understanding of how each other work and provide an overview of their services including current challenges. This event gave us the opportunity to have open and honest discussions about how the NHS and third sector can work together more effectively to benefit local people. Spring 2018 continued • Members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team took part in a ‘Making Every Contact Count’ workshop with colleagues from University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. The training focused on ensuring staff have the skills and knowledge to initiate conversations with service users about lifestyle choices that have a significant impact on their health and wellbeing. This way of working will enhance the CCGs population health approach to prevention. • Members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team continue to attend the Furness Animation Cafés in Barrow in Furness where we engage with local people, health professionals, GP practice staff, and representatives from charities and third sector organisations. The regular events give attendees the opportunity to make connections with like minded people, link community and health services together and to discuss what makes a positive difference to community health. Spring 2018 continued • We continue to support the Serenity Café which a community led initiative for people struggling with mental health issues. This project was set up by a member of the community using skills she learnt as part of a health and wellbeing training initiative arranged by the CCG. As a result the group has gone from strength to strength resulting in a nomination to Radio Lancashire Local Hero's awards for which they became a finalist. Ahead of the awards ceremony members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team supported the community member leading the project during media interviews and associated filming. Spring 2018 continued • Members of Morecambe Bay CCG continue to attend the South Lakeland Health and Wellbeing Forum which includes members from organisations in the public sector, county council, schools and third sector organisations – in order to encourage partnership working and share knowledge and resources across the area. • We also attended a recently formed community meeting in Ambleside in order to offer support and give advice on how best to engage with the community in the local area. Spring 2018 continued • Members of the Morecambe Bay CCG team supported the organisation and running of a winter workshop with colleagues from across Morecambe Bay. The event brought health professionals together to reflect on the challenges faced through the Winter of 2017/18 and consider how we move forwards as a health and social care economy in preparation for 2018/19. • Morecambe Bay CCG supported Bay Medical Practice to run a session involving local third sector and support agencies aiming to build links between them and find ways for them to work closer together. The CCG will continue to facilitate this work to ensure sustainability. Spring 2018 continued • Members from all twelve Integrated Care Communities in Morecambe Bay came together on Wednesday 14 March to reflect on the previous year and learn and understand a bit more about some of the projects their colleagues have been working on over the last year.

  • SCHEMES for the RECLAMATION of LAND from the SEA in NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING the EIGHTEENTH and NINETEENTH CENTURIES Read 20 Febr
    SCHEMES FOR THE RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM THE SEA IN NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES BY WILLIAM ROLLINSON, M.A. Read 20 February 1964 OME of the earliest schemes for the reclamation of land S from the sea in North Lancashire were implemented by the monks of Furness Abbey in the thirteenth century. In the fervour of Cistercian colonisation and agricultural reclamation, several areas on Walney Island were reclaimed by the construction of embankments or dykes of beach pebbles. There is some evidence to suggest that several of these dykes were constructed on both the west and east coasts of the island, but only the great Biggar Dyke on the east coast remains today, the west coast embank­ ments having been destroyed by marine erosion. Extending for almost a mile north-west of the village of Biggar, the dyke protected part of the east coast of Walney and prevented inundation of low-lying ground during spring tides. During the medieval period it was maintained and repaired by the monastic tenants in Furness, but after the dissolution of the abbey in 1537 the responsibility was assumed by the Crown, and in 1564 by the inhabitants of Walney. In spite of such an early and promising beginning, the progress of land reclamation and agricultural development was retarded after the dissolution, and it was not until the eighteenth century and the period of the Agricultural Revolution that interest was again aroused. Under the stimulus of a rapidly growing urban market and a rise in the price of grain during the Napoleonic wars, the period between the mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was one of agricultural expansion and improvement.
