Dear Neighbours!

We certainly have a full Directory for you this month with several articles of interest including a Trip Down Memory Line by Martin Rowley. There is a request on page 12 from The East Dorset Bee Keepers Association which has an apiary in West Moors! There are also some great events coming up… with “The Southwest Over 50’s Lifestyle Show” on 18th April, for which Dorset publications with The West Moors Directory, is one of the proud sponsors. There is also a brand new event at the Bournemouth International Centre at the end of May – The Family Adventure Festival 2013! This promises to be a great day out.

There are also lots of other clubs and societies, in and around our beautiful village of West Moors!

Inside The West Moors Directory there are of course all of our local trades and business people who would love to hear from you. Categories range from fitted furniture to loft building, to aerials and appliance repairs, from block paving to solar energy and Spice of India in Verwood has an excellent deal on Tuesday evenings! All can easily be found in our useful index on page 46. There are some editorials too which give you more information about the services some of the companies provide. This is an ideal little booklet to keep by the phone, after you have read it. You never know when you may need some help!

Stephen and I enjoy putting the magazine together for you each month. If there is anything you would like us to add that you feel would be beneficial, please feel free to call or email. We look forward to hearing from you!

Very Best Wishes,

A man of experience on the merger Robert Talbot, Poole Hospital’s Medical Director and experienced surgeon, explains how the proposed merger of the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals and Poole Hospital NHS foundation trusts will provide even better healthcare in Dorset.

“Should the merger go ahead, we will not only sustain vital services for patients but provide even better care. There are increasing expectations for consultantled care, seven days a week, which are not sustainable on both sites. The merger will allow us to unify or centralise some services that we currently duplicate, while providing as muc h as we can on both sites so that patients don’t have to travel unnecessarily.

“We want to provide the best emergency care to patients with urgent surgical problems, by giving the surgeons sufficient dedicated time, and the necessary support services, to treat patients with an acute surgical need at any time of day or night.

There is good evidence that patients have a better outcome after some complex operations if their team carries out the procedure frequently.

hope that our patients – and their families – will understand these benefits even if there is a need to travel further for some parts of their care. Any proposed changes will not be developed until after merger, and with engagement from patients and clinicians and full public consultation.

“In the years to come I would like patients to say that they would recommend the new trust to family and friends.”

You can read more from Robert Talbot and about the proposed merger at: http://213.106.147.101/future/?page_id=440 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

“Into the future, we would want to maintain routine surgery, outpatients and diagnostic tests on both sites, so most of our patients will continue to go to the same hospital for all or much of their care.

“If the proposed changes mean improved access to specialist care and better outcomes, we

East Dorset Bee Keeping Association The East Dorset Bee Keeping Association works hard to protect the honey bees in our area.

It is active in the collection of swarms in the summer months and recruiting new members and nurturing them as responsible and caring protectors of our precious inheritance.

The Association tries to help members by organising a programme of meetings throughout the year, including practical demonstrations in the open season at their apiary in West Moors. It also forms a platform where beekeepers can meet to discuss and follow up their common interest.

The group is active on Facebook and has its own website www.edbka.org.uk both giving information on their events and how to become a Beekeeper.

If you encounter a bee swarm this summer,

we have an active team throughout the area who can help you by collecting it and protecting one of our most vital natural resources.

Just call either of the following members: Jenny Wellman 01202 873292 or Ivor Kemp 07932 538491 (mobile) or 01202 682876 (evenings and weekends).

Apex Care opens new town centre premises in Andover

O

n Tuesday 12th March, the directors of Apex Care Malcolm and Liz Patrick welcomed the Mayor of Test Valley, Mrs Dorothy Baverstock, to declare the new Andover premises officially open.

Apex Care has been providing domiciliary care in the Andover

area for some years now, and have recently moved to the new office in East Street to make space for training facilities for their growing number of staff, enabling them to keep care provision up to date with regulatory requirements, and to make the most of each care worker’s potential.

Mayor of Test Valley, Mrs Dorothy Baverstock (centre) cuts the ribbon, watched on by Directors of Apex Care, Malcolm and Liz Patrick, local carers and staff

Apex have numerous branches across Dorset and Hampshire, and currently assist more than 130 clients in the Andover area, including individuals with mobility issues and those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. They can provide personalised care packages to assist with housekeeping and daily tasks, offering companionship to those at risk of becoming isolated, and the company can also offer palliative care.

Apex carers and staff. Malcolm Patrick, managing director of Apex Care, said “With the rising cost of care homes, the excellent service we provide allows the elderly and vulnerable to remain in their own homes. We are fully committed to enabling our clients to live as full, interesting and independent life as possible, providing assistance and support when required.”

For more information on the services provided by Apex Care The open day was a big success, or any details regarding carer with clients and relatives popping recruitment, contact the office on in for a cuppa and cupcake to help 0845 603 4743. launch the new offices, along with Who will make sure those you care about are OK? Carers Required – We are looking for people to provide care to the elderly in their homes.

We know the most important things in life are our loved ones but it is not always possible to be near them. This obviously causes anxiety as you are not always sure that they are safe, secure, warm and managing their daily lives.

We can provide daily or weekly support that will help alleviate your concerns.
