    Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group Putnoe Walk-in Centre case for change and consultation Transforming Urgent and Emergency Care in Bedfordshire Consultation runs from 10 July to 19 August 2018 Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (BCCG) is the NHS organisation that works locally to plan and buy all NHS-funded healthcare for the 450,000 people who live in Bedfordshire. This includes everything from primary care to hospital services, community health services and mental health services. BCCG is an organisation run by clinicians including local GPs, nurses and hospital doctors. Bedfordshire’s 50 GP practices are members of the CCG and together, we agree how to spend the £570m budget that we’re allocated, on healthcare services for the communities we serve in Bedfordshire. What is this document about? Following a new policy from NHS England, we are reviewing the way that urgent care services are delivered in Bedfordshire. Urgent Care is when you need medical assistance in a hurry and cannot wait for a routine appointment, but it is not an emergency. This document is designed to inform residents about proposed changes to Urgent and Emergency Care in Bedfordshire and encourage discussion. This will form part of a period of consultation, which will inform decisions on the future of Urgent and Emergency Care in Bedfordshire. Currently in Bedfordshire there are several different options for patients if they need an urgent appointment. 2 Existing model of care Phone 999 Consult an Attend out of hours A&E GP Urgent and emergency Care Call Visit the NHS111 Walk-In for advice Centre We are developing a new model of care, in line with national guidance, which aims to remove confusion and streamline the experience for patients when they are accessing urgent care.

  • The History of Putnoe Wood and Mowsbury Hillfort
    The History Of Putnoe Wood and Mowsbury Hillfort Putnoe Wood On the edge of the Ravensdon parish, Putnoe Wood is a Local Nature Reserve. Ravensden Brook runs through the valley and is an important wildlife corridor. Animals move from one part of the countryside to another along the brook, and the larger trees, grasses and scrub provide places to nest, food for birds and a home to many insects. Putnoe wood has a long history and was once part of a much larger wooded landscape. The area was first recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Salf End and Buckelowe (Putnoe) with the tenant in chief be- ing named as Hugh of Beauchamp. Before this date there is evidence that a Saxon named Putta had settled here and then later in 1066 being the property of Anschil or Asketill a name of Scandinavian origin. During the 12th century Putnoe Manor and its lands was endowed to the Cistercian Abbey of Warden and remained in the possession of the monastery until the dissolution in 1537. In 1224, Considerable damage was done to Putnoe Wood during the nine weeks siege of Bedford Castle. The Royal forces of Henry III using the wood as a convenient source of timber. Warden Abbey demanded and received annual compensation for their ravaged woodland during the remainder of the King's life- time. This was renewed in 1304 for a further 20 years. A full century was needed for the complete recov- ery of the wood. The estate passed to the Gostwick family of Willington in 1539 and they retained it for two hundred years.

    BEDFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL Update and Screening Assessment of Air Quality in the Bedford Borough October 2006 z Technical Services Group z Environmental Health Service z Pollution Control Section Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment for Bedford Borough Council October 2006 Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment 2006 Bedford Borough Council Acknowledgements The assistance of Rob Jamieson and Barry Williams from Bedford Borough Council is gratefully acknowledged in the production of this report. 2 Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment 2006 Bedford Borough Council Executive Summary The role of the local authority review and assessment process is to identify areas where it is considered that the government’s air quality objectives will be exceeded. The Bedford Council has previously undertaken the earlier rounds of review and assessment (R&A) of local air quality management and identified areas where the objectives are exceeded and where there is relevant public exposure. As a consequence, it has designated Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) for the annual mean nitrogen dioxide objective and sulphur dioxide objectives in the Borough. This report concerns the third round Updating and Screening Assessment. Local authorities are required to review and assess air quality against the objectives in the Air Quality Regulations 2000 and the amendment regulations as part of a rolling three-year cycle ending in 2010. The air quality objectives to be assessed are for the following seven pollutants: carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3- butadiene, lead, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and particles (PM10). This report provides a new assessment to identify those matters that have changed since the last review and assessment, and which might lead to a risk of the objective being exceeded.
