I read recently that a survey suggests many of us are struggling to get hold of our GP. One in three of us report that it is not easy to reach our GP surgery and a similar number of us are unhappy with the appointment times available when we eventually do get through. The survey comes just as the numbers waiting for hospital care are reported to be hitting an all-time high. Waiting lists for routine treatment stood at 4.39 million in May - the highest since records began in 2007. The latest figures have been published just days after it emerged some hospital doctors are refusing to do overtime shifts. This is because they are being landed with large tax bills after changes to the way the pension system works. The figures are fresh evidence of the impact on patients of the stand-off. The recent "stand-off' with doctors refusing to work extra shifts because of the impact on their pensions means that now one in eight people have been waiting longer than 18 weeks for routine

treatment - the maximum length of time they should have to wait. It appears to be acknowledged by NHS England that GPs are facing increasing pressure and demand and some patients are struggling to access services. BUT, what is being done to change things? It is reported that NHS England seek to review the way in which people access their GP and the NHS is looking to explore making improvements to booking systems and at the potential of online consultations to "deliver greater choice'. I wonder it this involves the recent reports that we will soon be able to access basic medical advice using Alexa! I know from personal experience with my own GP that it is incredibly difficult to get them to answer the phone, yet alone secure an appointment. It requires a sort of planned system that when unwell I simply do not have the energy to engage with. Many of my clients' have

experienced similar things but sadly with, sometimes, quite disastrous consequences. I have clients' who have experienced delays in accessing the GP, failures by their GP to refer them for specialist treatment or, worse still, simply being told that their symptoms are not a "red flag" for an illness that they are subsequently diagnosed with. This has caused long periods of pain and suffering from my Clients and on occasions the necessity for an operation when conservative treatment would have been appropriate if they had been treated sooner. Very rarely it has caused a lengthy delay in diagnosis of a cancer or other serious illness. I am just not sure that any of this would be remedied by asking Alexa!

Park Community Enterprises And Park Community Ventures

Student Recruitment Agency

Park Community Enterprises Ltd (PCE) was established in May 2013 to give young people work experience and education in a real life working environment away from an educational establishment. PCE started by developing an enterprise project now known as Park Design and Print (PDP) which meant we were able to start producing bespoke educational printing. This has now developed to PCS having: • Park Design and Print industrial unit • Apex Construction Centre for the training of young people • Park Small Holding where we grow our own produce and rear animals

We took on board comments from students and parents on their difficulties in finding paid work, so we developed our own Student Employment Agency. We publish a pay structure showing progression in acquiring work skills and pay, with students start working for us in Year 7. Competition is fierce, and students take part in a robust recruitment process to gain a position. To date we have employed over 100 students.

Park Community Ventures was formed as a charity in March 2010 to advance the education of pupils in the school by developing effective relationships between the staff and parents, engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school. The charity has successfully raised over £82k since its formation, some of which has been used for the MUNCH project.

Skills and knowledge gained •Customer care •Budgeting, counting money •Event set up •Time sheet calculations •IT skills in the workplace •Typing letters •Self confidence •Understanding what employers want •Party host •Telephone and office skills •Prioritising •Time management •General maintenance •Working to deadlines •Working as a team • Animal care

NEWS Tanzania Year 10 Students took a once in a life time trip to Tanzania in June. This trip gave students an opportunity to see a part of a country that is much less fortunate than ours, and it was certainly a big eye opener! An article from Year 10 Student Maisie… It was an amazing experience and made a big impact on the children we met in need in Mbeya. Although the children had very little they appreciated the tiniest things and were just grateful to have someone there to play with. Seeing the children and hearing their stories made it very emotional and made a lot of us think about how grateful we should be and to not take things for granted. The children live their lives to the fullest, no matter what’s going on at home and mostly just wanted attention and company. We feel we made the biggest difference because we were there to play with them and to give them that attention that maybe their families couldn’t give them. Spending 10 days with the children and helping the community was the best part, which made leaving them the hardest part! We had become so attached to them all and felt so much love for them, knowing how much they needed us and our help was heart wrenching. The trip has changed all of us, we’ve all learnt so much and it’s really opened our eyes and made us realise how much we have compared to others. It’s so sad for all of us to acknowledge the fact that most of them don’t have electricity, food or even a comfy bed to sleep on. I think all of us can say that, hands down, we have left a piece of our heart there and we will cherish and keep the memories we made there forever.
