£40k grant to support health care coalition focusing on sharing end of life experiences A group of health care providers across Dorset are working together on a new project focusing on sharing end of life experiences thanks to a one-off grant of £40,000 made by Dorset Clinical Commissioners. Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Forest Holme Hospice, Dorset Health Care and Lewis Manning Hospice Care will be collaborating to focus on making it easier for people approaching the end of life, and their families, to share their experiences, learn from and support each other. The group have also teamed up with Care Opinion (www.careopinion.org.uk) to make it easy for people to share their experiences in their own words online. Clare Gallie, CEO of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care, said: “This project will help us to understand what our patients really want and allow us to focus our support on what really matters to them’’. Palliative and end of life care staff will be invited to respond (including online) to people who have shared their stories. This has been shown in other areas to have a positive impact on staff morale, confidence and sense of purpose at work. The group, including people with lived experience of care at end of life, is also working with values specialist Jackie LeFèvre to understand what stories tell us about what’s most important to us. Saskie Dorman, Consultant in Palliative Medicine at Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust who is based at Forest Holme Hospice, Seldown Road, Poole, explained: “The current standard surveys
and requests for feedback from families and patients are relatively impersonal. We don’t learn as much as we could or should from people’s experiences, both what went well and what needs to improve. This work will help us to learn directly from the stories and experiences shared about what’s important to people about their care and support, what’s working well and what needs to be improved.” Dorset Health Care, added, “The opportunity to be part of this project will expand our current patient experience measures and continues our commitment to put patients, carers and their families at the heart of everything we do. We want people to be able to share their experiences of health and care in ways which are safe, simple, and lead to learning and change which we feel is achievable by subscribing to Care Opinions.”

Notes from...
WarehamTown Museum I am writing this on the day we were hoping to open the Wareham Town Museum for the season, 11 April. Instead I am sitting at home wondering when we will be able to complete the jobs in there. We have been planning a couple of new displays, and were hoping to oer more group visits and talks about all our local exhibits. Meanwhile, visit our website for information on our displays and a video introducing you to the museum www.wtm.org.uk There may be more interest in our Lawrence of Arabia exhibit this year when the controversial film about Lawrence is shown.
T. E. Lawrence
We have yet to get our volunteers together for the annual update of the policies and procedures required to run a successful Museum. As with most organisations all is on hold for the foreseeable future. If being a volunteer appeals to you, please telephone the Town Council oďŹƒce on 01929 553006 and leave a message or email the Manager, Jacquie Hall, on manager@wtm.org.uk.

Dorset Quirky Facts It would be hard not to fall in love with Dorset. With its easy charm and inspiring scenery, many have come to adore the beautiful county in all its glory. Whilst it may be difficult to fully explore Dorset’s finest hidden gems during this current climate, from a local landmark often visited by Thomas Hardy to a special kind of local cheese to enjoy, here is another handful of some of the fascinating facts from around Dorset. 1. One person who would openly confess his love of Dorset was famed author Thomas Hardy who would likely share his fondness of the county with another love in his life.The lady in question was a certain Eliza Nicholls to whom Thomas Hardy was greatly attached. The two would spend as much

time as possible together and loved to visit Clavell Tower which was built in 1830. The tower, noted for its circular structure, was built as an observatory looking out over the beautiful Dorset coastline. 2. As so many are celebrating Dorset from the safety of their own home, one of the finest products produced in the county must surely be the Dorset Blue Vinney. It could be said that the local cheese had somewhat of an humble origin after it was created with the left-over skimmed milk from the butter which many Dorset farmers sold in markets. Now it is celebrated and guarded with Protected Geographical Status and has in the past few decades enjoyed great popularity. 3. It would be difficult to select one particular area of Dorset as a favourite however countless visitors as well as local residents have often favoured Lulworth Cove which is not only recognised for its sheer beauty but also its geological importance.

types of rocks can be seen at Lulworth Cove including, Chalk, Wealden Clay, Purbeck Beds, Greensand and Portland Stone, all of which provide a fascinating and rare insight into the geological history of this amazing part of Britain. 4. Did you know that the Portland Bill is the southernmost point in Dorset and that the lighthouse was built in 1906 to replace the two existing lighthouses? The iconic red and white structure has become a popular visitor

attraction as many flock to see the lighthouse which helped to uphold the tradition of providing a guiding light for seafarers. Interestingly, the need for a light was recognised as early as the Roman times when a fire was lit to warn vessels of the dangerous coastlines around the Isle of Portland. 5. King Charles II’s flight from his defeat at the Battle of Worcester and his subsequent journey is a tale that has often been told however an interesting snippet of Dorset’s history also includes the story of how the king’s plans for escape were scuppered by a local woman. The king was eager to escape to France and eventually a certain Captain Limbry was willing to use his ship to transport the monarch. However, the captain’s wife uncovered the plan and whether disapproving of the king or anxious for her husband’s safety, locked Captain Limbry - and reportedly his clothes - away so that he could not help the monarch!

Samuel THOMAS featured ar st
“
appreciate how much
joy and beauty surrounds us in our everyday
”
Enjoy some of these pain ngs featuring Bournemouth Seafront, Dorset and wider landscapes that will help you reconnect with the joys in your life, and will help you feel op mis c and hopeful for the future that awaits you. A�er all, you ARE what you FOCUS on. The ar st's work is usually on show at Gallery 65 in Westbourne, but currently closed. But you can browse the ar st's online gallery to feel refreshed and upli�ed and enjoy some 'escapism' during lockdown.
We're living in uncertain mes right now with the effect of covid 19 and our new Lockdown Lifestyles that we now find ourselves living every day. You may be wondering about the best ways to remain op mis c and hopeful during your everyday and looking ahead to the future. Ar st Samuel Thomas shares his vision and tac cs on how best to cope during our lockdown lifestyles. He suggests that prac sing daily apprecia on of the small things, remaining hopeful in our mindsets, showing daily gra tude and apprecia on for the small joys within our everyday, being apprecia ve of nature and the fact that the sun is s ll shining whilst looking forward to be er days ahead are all strategies we can all prac ce to help us stay resilient and op mis c at this me.
Samuel Thomas' artworks embody these philosophies as the ar st's upli�ing pain ngs have always been about projec ons of the self into a be er future, because this faith and belief is in the very fabric of our human nature. The ar st explains: 'We all live in hope for the future, but we should also prac ce apprecia ng the smaller joys within our everyday, that we may have overlooked or taken for granted before our Lockdown lifestyles took effect. “I think we're all a bit guilty of this mentality in life, because it's not un l we suffer the threat of losing something that we then start to truly appreciate the value of those things and we then learn to be thankful for what we are blessed with. A crisis (despite how harrowing it can be) can help put our problems into perspec ve and allows us to gain clarity on our lives and focus on what's really important in the short term and in the long term. My pain ngs have always been on a mission to persuade people to stop and pause, and to visually see and appreciate how much joy and beauty surrounds us in our everyday.”

GUIDE Watering
The idea of what constitutes a good summer varies greatly according to one’s interests, and the average child or beach lover is happy with bright sun every day but gardeners and farmers crave a bit of moderation.
large containers, that’s all to the good but don’t be afraid to use washing-up water (we haven’t all got dish washers) and bathwater if it’s not too contaminated by bubble bath and suchlike.
Perfection might be sunshine all day and rain at night but that rarely happens so we usually have to spend some time rescuing our water starved plants at some point through the summer. It is better to water heavily, soaking the soil occasionally rather than giving a light shower which will just encourage the roots to the surface and the water will never get down to where it is needed.
Don’t worry about the lawn - grass really is as tough as old boots and although it might look like the Gobi desert, it will all come back to life after a decent drop of rain. If the theories about global warming and warmer summers are to be believed, perhaps we should consider growing more plants that are happier in drier, more Mediterranean conditions rather than our traditional cottage garden varieties. Many grey or silver- leaved plants are a good example. Think about lavenders, rosemary, cistus, many ornamental grasses, bamboo and herbs.
Concentrate on salad crops to keep lettuce and radish etc. crisp and don’t worry so much about crops and plants with deeper roots. If you can catch rainwater in a water butt or
