6 September 2019 Dear Colleague, As the Schools Go Back And 6 September 2019 Dear Colleague, As the schools go back and students are gearing up for university life the UHB has been as busy as ever. To those of you who have enjoyed a summer break - welcome back. The summer period did not result in the usual dip in numbers with as many patients presenting at EU remaining as during some of our busiest winter months and this has in some areas placed some pressures on us, which is a picture replicated across the whole of Wales. Politically the activity on the run-up to Brexit has increased including a lot more interest in the health service and how we would cope with a shortage of medicines, reduced access to medical equipment and, vitally important, our staffing levels. I’m pleased to say that all of the indications for us are that there is no exodus of EU staff as a result of Brexit and the surveys completed by workforce colleagues are demonstrating that people are providing us with their nationality details so that we can engage with them on obtaining Settled Status in the UK post-Brexit. We have continued the forward planning and contingency work to ensure that we are as prepared as we possibly can be to mitigate any kind of shortages. So, while we are not complacent - none of us can be specific on what a no deal Brexit will mean for health care or health services we provide for our patients - our priority is that staff nor patients are affected adversely by any of the scenarios deal or no deal and that we will remain an open and inclusive NHS service and employer to all. Due to the increase in activity and the concerns raised, we have placed the Brexit details at the front and centre of our website and we will endeavour to keep you as informed and updated as possible. Over the past 12 months there have been a number of workshops outlining processes for our Clinical Boards, Estates and Facilities and it’s important that as many staff as possible familiarise themselves with these processes to ensure they know what to do. We will be reissuing some of the operational processes through our internal routes so please look out for these and ensure you know what to do in areas that affect you. I recognise that this is an unsettling period for some and it’s important that during uncertain times we stick to what we know and continue to operate in the same way that we always do unless required to do something different. 1 Please keep up the great work that you do every day across Cardiff and Vale and lets look towards the start of the new “school term” optimistically. As this is my first CEO Connects for almost a month, I would like to take the opportunity to reflect on a summer of success for teams and individuals throughout the health board. I have enjoyed reading about a number of award wins and letters of praise about the fantastic work that is taking place here. One group of staff that this certainly applies to is our Public Health team, who run ‘Food and Fun’ – the School Holiday Enrichment Programme - together with WLGA, Cardiff council catering services Food Cardiff and Sports Cardiff. I was delighted to read a letter that Vaughan Gething AM sent to our Dietetic Lead Emma Holmes to praise the scheme. The award winning programme provides good quality meals, nutrition skills, sports education and enrichment activities to children living in areas of need in Wales. It was devised and piloted here in Cardiff in 2015 before being rolled out nationally. It was quickly recognised as a success, winning an NHS Wales Award in 2016. Vaughan's letter highlighted the fantastic feedback that he received from parents about the schemes when he visited them during the summer, the outstanding effort that he could see being put in by the team to make the schemes a success, and the benefits that had been achieved for some of the most vulnerable local children and families through good partnership working, which are all sentiments that I would certainly echo. I'd like to thank Emma and the Public Health team for their fantastic efforts on this year's School Holiday Enrichment Programme, which makes such a difference to the health and wellbeing of local families, and highlight their success as a shining example of how working effectively with our partners can have significant benefits on those in our care and the wider community. Improving care for frail older people in the Vale This week, we have opened our engagement process for our proposals to improve care for frail older people in the Vale of Glamorgan. With an ageing population that is expected to continue growing in the coming years, we need to adapt the way that our services are delivered to ensure that they are fit for their needs. In line with the plans set out in our Shaping Our Future Wellbeing Strategy, we have invested significantly in primary and community services to increase the support available to keep people living well at home. At the heart of our proposals are the principles of quicker assessment, quicker discharge and supporting ongoing care needs in the community, which will reduce the need for hospital stays. Patients tell us that they want to return home quickly to recover after a hospital admission, or avoid being admitted to hospital at all. We know that long stays in hospital can reduce an individual’s independence and confidence as they lose mobility, which we routinely see contributing to clinical deconditioning. Ten days in a hospital bed can equal 10 years of muscle wastage in the elderly, which is what our proposals seek to avoid. 2 When patients no longer need to be in hospital they should be able to leave with appropriate support in place more quickly, in order to give them the best chance of continued independence and dignity in their own home or a community setting. The Engagement Document, Frequently Asked Questions and Equality and Health Impact Assessment can be viewed on our website, and we will also be holding a public workshop on Monday 23 September between 1pm and 3.30pm at the Barry Memo Arts Centre, before the engagement process ends on Friday 1 November. For the latest news about Barry Hospital, read the September edition of the hospital’s newsletter. Pioneering transplants introduced at UHW This week is also Organ Donation Week, which is a great opportunity to celebrate the pioneering transplants that have recently been achieved by the transplant team at UHW. The team have successfully transplanted kidneys from donors infected with Hepatitis C, which was a UK first. Hepatitis C is treated using direct acting antiviral (DAA) tablets, which are the safest and most effective medicines for treating the virus. Since DAA tablets were made available on the NHS in Wales in 2014 those with the virus are able to be cured entirely of the virus over the course of just 12 weeks, with a less than a 1-in-2500 chance that the disease would not be cured. With an estimated 12,000 people affected by Hepatitis C in Wales, this breakthrough is a great outcome for patients in need of a kidney. Some patients’ health will deteriorate before a suitable organ is identified, and on average three die every day in the UK because of the shortage of organs, despite innovations such as the Welsh opt out system. Any new treatment that increases the number of available organs is therefore of great importance, and demonstrating that organs can be safely transplanted from donors with Hepatitis C is important not just for our patients, but also for those across the whole United Kingdom. Single cancer pathway introduced Last month, a new single pathway was introduced for cancer patients across Wales, with waiting times now being measured from when cancer is first suspected rather than from when the referral is first received in hospital. This is great news for patients, whose waiting times will all be measured in one consistent way, regardless of how their cancer is identified. As well as being diagnosed and treated more quickly, it means that patients will now also be treated more equitably. Cancer is the single biggest cause of premature death in Wales and the UK, and will touch all of our lives in some way, so I’m pleased that this new single pathway is set to improve treatment for patients both locally and throughout Wales. 3 Partnership working played a key role in our Stop A Stroke project team being recognised with a national team excellence award at the Welsh Stroke Conference in July. The team has worked very closely with colleagues in primary care to optimise anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who are at risk of stroke. AF related strokes are the most debilitating type of stroke, with the greatest mortality risk. Through their work the team has seen an increase in anticoagulation to over 80% in this patient group, and a significant reduction in AF patients being admitted to hospital suffering a stroke. The team has also processed more than 150 e-advice referrals in the last year, caring for people closer to their homes through avoiding the need for outpatient clinic appointments. In addition to improving outcomes for patients, the value to us as a health board of reducing the number of patients that need to be admitted to hospital and visiting our sites for outpatient care is clear, which is something that we are increasingly considering.

  • St. John's Episcopal Church
    St. John’s Episcopal Church – Islip’s Mother of Churches Second Updated Edition, Updated Edition, Copyright, 2018 Forward Three hundred and thirty-five years ago 26-year-old William Nicoll met with “Winnaquaheagh, Sachem of Connettquot” and purchased the first parcel of land in what would be Islip Town and names it “Islip Grange.” He would build a home on that land in 1701 and had church services celebrated for his family, tenants and servants in that home. His grandson, the third proprietor, also named William, 82 years later would have a chapel built on the approximate center of the Nicoll holdings. That small brown wood-shingled church on the northside of Montauk Highway in Oakdale is still a place of worship, today is often overlooked by those who rush by, but that building has been a silent witness to the growth of the Town of Islip. In its churchyard rest members of the families that built the Town. It is also a reminder and remainder of the colonial era estates, and the impact of the Nicoll and Ludlow families on the early history of the Town. For over two hundred years that family would care not only for the church but also for their beloved Islip. The story of this church and those who loved her is also the story of the Town of Islip. This second edition is very much a work in progress as more and more details are discovered every day. This is not a polished and finished work as it is hoped that this will spur interest by those who read it to know more about this survivor and the impact it had on local, state and national history.

  • First Baptist Church, Charlotte, N. C., 1832-1916
    George Washington Flowers Memorial Collection DUKE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ESTABLISHED BY THE FAMILY OF COLONEL FLOWERS [Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/firstbaptistchurOOmcle FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Charlotte, N. C. 1832—1916 COMPILED BY CARRIE l_ . MCLEAN DEDICATED TO THE PARSONAGE BABY MARY HENDERSON VINES : Div.9 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF CHARLOTTE 1832—1916 Were this sketch to be introduced by a quotation from secular literature, it would be from 'The Blue Bird," where, after wandering through the Land of Memory, Mytyl asks: "Where are the dead?" and Tyltyl replies, mere are no dead." Were it to begin with a quotation from Holy Writ, it would be: "Other men labored and ye are entered into their labors." In a sketch published in 1899 in the North Carolina Baptist Historical Papers, Dr. T. J. Taylor, who lived in Charlotte prior to 1870, and who now lives in Warrenton, N. C, says: "There is no account of any Baptist residing in the neighborhood of Charlotte until toward the close of the eighteenth century. This absence of record does not necessarily prove that there were no Baptists among the early settlers; for, in the midst of a strongly Presbyterian population, and with no church organization, a few isolated Baptists would have no opportunity of putting themselves on record as such." Dr. T. H. Pritchard wrote, in 1896 "The first Baptist known in Mecklenburg County was John Dinkins, the great-grandfather of Rev. Dr. Thomas H. Pritchard. He was an Irishman, and a man of means, and resided on the Nation Ford Road, half a mile beyond the Mineral Spring, on Sugar Creek.

Having fronted the band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci from 1991 until their demise in 2004, Euros went solo and released his debut album ‘Chops’ on the Wichita label in 2006, followed by a further 3 albums for the label: ‘Bore Da’, ‘The Miracle Inn’ (both 2007) and ‘Cheer Gone’ (2008). Euros set up his own record label National Elf in 2009 and to date has released 10 solo albums – including last year’s ‘Olion’, ‘Sweetheart’ (2015) ‘Refresh!’ (2016) ‘House Arrest’ (2017). He has toured extensively around the UK in the past 13 years. Sometimes with a band and occasionally alone with a piano. When asked by taxi drivers, hairdressers or distant relatives what kind of music he plays, Euros replies, 'It's pop music with a bit of folk music and thrown in.

  • Performing Borders
    Radical Musicology Volume 1 (2006) ISSN 1751-7788 Beyond Borders: The Female Welsh Pop Voice Sarah Hill University of Southampton For all its reputation as a musical culture, the number of women pop stars to 1 have emerged from Wales can be counted charitably on two hands, with some fingers to spare. Wales is a small country, host to two rich linguistic cultures, each with its own musical heritage and traditions, yet very few musicians of either gender have crossed over from one tradition to the other. The rarity of a female singer making such a border crossing is marked, allowing for a delicate lineage to be traced across the decades, from the 1960s to the present, revealing certain commonalities of experience, acceptance, and reversion. With this in mind, I would like to draw a linguistic and cultural connection between two determinedly different Welsh women singers. In the 1960s, when women’s voices were the mainstays of Motown, the folk circuit and the Haight-Ashbury, in Wales only Mary Hopkin managed to shift from Welsh-language to Anglo-American pop; thirty years later, Cerys Matthews made the same journey. These two women bear certain similarities: they both come from South Wales, they are both singers whose first, or preferred, language is Welsh, and they both found their niche in the Anglo-American mainstream market. These two women faced the larger cultural problems of linguistic and musical border-crossings, but more importantly, they challenged the place of the female pop voice in Wales, and of the female Welsh pop voice in Anglo-America.
