Final day of Jo Brand’s BT Sport Relief Challenge and trainer Greg Whyte says it will be “a brute of a day” Jo Brand is going to have to dig deep to keep battling those blisters and aching limbs, as today she struggles through to the finish line on the final leg of her BT Sport Relief Challenge. After a week full of wind, rain, blisters and ice baths, Jo aims to reach her final destination in Liverpool tonight (Thursday 28 January). The challenge has seen the 58-year-old comedian walk east to west across the width of the country in just seven days, starting at the Humber Bridge last Friday. The challenge is sponsored by BT, a long- term supporter of Comic Relief challenges since 2009. Her day started at 5.30am this morning from Warrington, and by 7.30am this morning she had already walked 10,000 steps. The final leg of Jo’s mammoth challenge will see her walk through Widnes, Hale, Allerton, Sefton Park, Toxteth, finishing up in Liverpool at approximately 7pm. Jo will be joined today by celebrity friends including BBC Breakfast’s Louise Minchin, BT Sport Relief Challenge champion John Bishop and comedy legend Ricky Tomlinson. Trainer Greg Whyte said, “It’s the last day and Jo is absolutely battered. Today is going to be an absolute brute. We’ve had an extremely early start today because we need to make sure we have an on time delivery into Liverpool”.

  • National Comparative Audit of Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding and the Use of Blood
    National Comparative Audit of Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding and the Use of Blood Results from a National Audit May 2016 This report has been endorsed by NHS Blood and Transplant, the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, the British Society of Gastroenterology and the British Society of Interventional Radiology. The project has been funded by NHS Blood and Transplant and the Bowel Disease Research Foundation. Foreword This Audit, funded by NHS Blood and Transplant and the Bowel Disease Research Foundation, represents a tremendous amount of hard work and has produced data of the utmost importance for the development of a safe and efficient lower GI bleeding service. On behalf of ACPGBI I should like to pay tribute to everyone who participated in this project especially those who are mentioned in the Acknowledgements and the List of Participating Sites across the UK. Although lower GI bleeding rarely presents as major haemorrhage it is clear that many hospitals are not adequately set up to provide safe acute haemorrhage control. In addition, it appears that many patients admitted with lower GI bleeding are not investigated but are often transfused inappropriately. The recommendations stemming from this audit are practical, sensible and potentially lifesaving, and are fully endorsed by the ACPGBI.
