Dear Bournemouth, Easter is coming up and hopefully some good weather! Do you have anything planned for the children? Maybe an Easter Egg Hunt or a family weekend away? Hayden, our son had his first over night cubs “Expedition” last week. A two hour hike in the dark, then a night in a tent with 3 friends. He arrived back exhausted after 3 hour hours sleep he told me. Funnily enough, where I thought he maybe cold out in the open he told me he was too hot, which is why he couldn’t sleep! I couldn’t believe it, that really surprised me. It turned out they were “camping” indoors!! Now, do you need something doing in the house, the garden, or do you want a good evening out? Take a look at all we have to offer you inside The Bournemouth Directory. There maybe just what you are looking for. The local advertisers would really appreciate your calls, as always. Any of them will give you advice and help, so please use their services and don’t forget to mention the little booklet when talking to them. We also have some local data for you as well as other interesting articles to read. If you have a local club or society and want some free promotion please give me a call. If you have a business and wish to advertise, we offer a free editorial with a three month’s package. This is a great way to let the local people know more about what you can do to help them. Do give me a call on this. Stephen and I hope you have a great month of March and Wish you a Very Happy Easter, Best Wishes,
Debbie & Stephen Corney

Better together: ensuring high quality local care The coming few months will see our three local hospitals in the public spotlight like never before. The proposed merger of The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (RBCH) and Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (PHFT) is set to pave the way for a new era in healthcare. The proposal - the first of its kind in the country - aims to draw together the best of all healthcare facilities provided at our hospitals, Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch, and meet the challenges that face the NHS in the future. Over the course of the next few months, we will publish a series of monthly features. They will highlight how we will continue to meet the needs of the area’s population, provide the highest level of healthcare, and retain services locally and existing areas of good practice.
Why merge?
Providing first class, quality care locally and being able to invest in services in the future are of paramount importance to us. The proposed merger provides many benefits for patients and improved outcomes, through increased consultant-led care and receiving the right treatment at the right time. It will ensure we can continue to invest in local patient services. Combining the skills and strengths of both organisations, that are already providing excellent patient care, places the new Bournemouth and Poole NHS Foundation Trust (if the merger is approved) in the strongest position possible to meet the challenges that lie ahead. There are many examples of where we already work together as separate organisations but we have gone as far as we can. It would be very difficult to begin to realise further benefits, achieve sustainability or address the challenges without merger.
How will the merger affect me?
It is important to remember that outpatient and day case services will remain at all three hospitals, so the vast majority of patients will see no difference in the first class way services are provided. To ensure services can remain local, the new organisation will need to look at how some specialist services will be provided. This will be done together with GPs, clinicians, patients and the public, and any proposals will be fully consulted on. As well as ensuring the continued provision of local, firstclass, quality care and investment in the future, there are many benefits to staff and patients which we will explore over the coming months in this feature. We firmly believe that merger is the right thing to do for our patients to ensure they continue to receive high quality care locally. Over the coming months you will hear from a range of staff from our hospitals. We hope you find the features useful and informative. Jane Stichbury Chairman, The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Angela Schofield Chairman, Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
NEXT MONTH: Meet Robert Talbot, Medical Director of the proposed new Trust If you have a question about your local hospitals, let us know. We will try to answer the most common ones over the coming months. You can email us at: communications@poole.nhs.uk or communications@rbch.nhs.uk Find out more at www.poole.nhs.uk or www.rbch.nhs.uk Follow us on Facebook/Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals

Moors Valley needs your memories to help mark 25 years since opening Moors Valley Country Park and Forest, near Ringwood, is inviting you to help mark its 25th anniversary by contributing your memories. The Rangers are asking for photos of the Park itself, and those taken at events within the Park over the last 25 years, to be uploaded to a dedicated group at: www.flickr.com/groups/MV25years They are particularly interested in receiving images that show the changes that have taken place over the last quarter century – or perhaps even highlight the similarities. Those unable to provide electronic versions of their photographs can drop in actual images at the Visitor Centre. The images will be made available for everyone to see online and a selection will also be chosen for inclusion on 25 history interpretation panels that will be placed around Moors Valley; now the third most visited Country Park in England. You can also get involved in the
Building the vistor centre
A cycle ride in the 1990s celebrations by adding your vote to an online list of your favourite things about Moors Valley Country Park and Forest. The public’s top 25 will then be published later in the year. Countryside Interpretation Ranger Katie Davies said, “Moors Valley means so many different things to so many people. We need your memories to help us mark our 25th birthday. We are looking forward to seeing old photos of Moors Valley. It will be a marvellous way to see how the park has developed and will help us record the life of the park for future generations.” For further details of all the celebratory events taking place at Moors Valley this year visit the website, www.moorsvalley.co.uk or contact the Rangers on 01425 470721.

‘Don’t be Afraid of the Mouse!’ Are you staring at a new computer which has found its way into your house? Did someone give you a gift that hasn’t been touched? Perhaps your old computer is still crying out to be used properly?! Either way it’s there and it’s eyeing you up suspiciously! When this happens we worry about how to use the thing properly, getting stuck and not recalling what to do or where to start. Firstly, concentrate on what interests you the most. There is no point learning things that you don’t need to. Make a list of what you want to do: email friends, do the grocery shopping, research hobbies? “But hold on!” (I hear you say) “What’s an email account? Is it safe to use my credit card online? Turn it on and off? I have to do that too??!!!” Fret not. As Silver Training’s Bournemouth tutor I will set you up and guide you through what interests you the most with step by step lessons at home.

'ŽůĚĮƐŚ ŽŶ͛ƚ ŽǀĞƌůŽŽŬ ƚŚĞ ďĂƐŝĐƐ There is an assumption that the common coldwater goldfish is an easy and simple pet to keep. True to a certain extent but it’s easy to overlook some basics which may ultimately make your pet poorly or ultimately die. In these days of centrally heated homes, the coldwater aquarium is not truly cold so a heater/thermostat should be installed wherever practical to maintain a steady temperature of 21°c. Also, the thought that fishes will grow to fill the space available may render your fish unhealthy due to stunted growth if your aquarium is over-occupied, and some may die of stress if the space is too cramped. Goldfish also eat copious amounts and of course then excrete copious amounts so the filtration system should be entirely adequate to manage this. Overfeeding is the single most common cause of aquarium problems. Little and often is important - feeding the fish a couple of times a day should be sufficient. Good feeding is a way of avoiding swim bladder derangement which can be a common problem with goldfish.

JAGUAR LAND ROVER is a key player within the UK economy. It is the largest investor in automotive research, development and engineering in this country and it generates billions of pounds of economic activity every year. 1,500 new jobs have been created to support the launch of the Evoque, so it comes as no surprise that the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is attracting a lot of attention. And rightly so, because the car delivers top levels of craftsmanship, economy, luxury and performance into a shrinkwrapped package. Aesthetically, the Evoque certainly marks a bold evolution of Range Rover design. With a striking rising beltline, a muscular shoulder running the length of the car, and a distinctive taper to the low floating roofline, the motor adopts an extremely vibrant profile with a commanding and muscular stance. Inside, the cabin provides exactly what you would expect; sumptuous surroundings with quality materials and an elegance befitting of a Range Rover interior. Rather than using a traditional trim hierarchy, the Evoque gives you the choice of three design themes: the cool and contemporary ‘Pure’, the luxurious ‘Prestige’, on test here, and the bold and sporting ‘Dynamic’. My SD4 Prestige LUX Automatic 3dr CoupĂŠ version came with a silver exterior, a panoramic roof, leather
seats and a hide covered dash. Under the hood lurked a potent 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine married to a six-speed, creamy smooth automatic transmission. Behind the wheel, you feel confident and comfortable. Despite the low roof, visibility is very good, and the car feels powerful and balanced at motorway speeds with very little roll on more twisty routes. Of course, as a true Range Rover, the Evoque delivers all-weather, all-surface competence too, which is enhanced by the company’s signature Terrain ResponseTM system. The standard four-wheel-drive transmission is an innovative full-time intelligent assembly which continuously varies the front/rear torque split to deliver optimum grip and balance. The car also has generous ground clearance and better breakover, approach and departure angles than other premium compact SUVs. The Evoque will undoubtedly tempt rural based motorists who need this kind of vehicle to get around, as well as a new generation of business executives who want a no-nonsense car that also delivers oodles of style.
