To celebrate the publication of papers by Surrey Primary Care Trust
indicating that all major services are to be retained at the Royal
Surrey County Hospital, the Save the Royal Surrey campaign has issued a
big ‘thank you’ to people in West Surrey for their support.
Over the course of the past 12
months there has been a massive groundswell of support for the
campaign – including a public rally attended by 8,000 people and the
collection of over 120,000 signatures on petitions. The campaign has
received backing from all major local political parties, the Chamber of
Commerce and the Council during the fight to save the hospital from
cuts or closure.
The publication of the business case for
safeguarding services marks the latest victory for retaining major
facilities at the site including maternity, paediatrics and Accident
and Emergency. It is not clear whether there will be a public
consultation on limited changes to health services in the county as
originally promised by the PCT.
Thank You For Your Support
Other campaigns are taken place across the country, many of these also desperately need supporting, it has been proven that with the communities support we can sustain these much needed services and bring about a better health care system for all.
Projects and resources that we recommend:
If your one of the thousands of people who pledge to get fit per day please consult your local doctor before embarking on a fitness program, you may do more harm than good without his advise. Wear Trainers, loose shirt and boxer shorts when working out as its important you feel comfortable, whether running training in the gym or just walking along the high street. Good clothing allows you to enjoy this.
It is also important to remember that the convenience of taking medications can have an impact on how successful they are adopted, take for example once a day and you are done. That is as much effort as you need to worry about. Others such as herbs etc. can be much more difficult to manage, having to brew up teas which must be taken three times a day.
One of the more common problems people face with their walking is caused from heel pain, in dutch they call this hielspoor which is a very common problem and easily treated with heel inserts or orthotics.
Another of the areas where people generally find difficulty in treating is that of sore heels which is a common type of foot pain in New Zealand, this is where orthotics are used to relieve the tension on the heel.
One of the most common types of foot pain is Plantar Fasciitis which is the major cause of heel pain and heel spurs. Treatment with orthotics and exercises is recommended for this condition.
The Royal Surrey Hospital has endorsed a national first aid awareness week that will launch in the UK in Oct 09 before the winter sports seasons starts. It will focus on sports first aid kits due to the increase in injuries during this winter ski and sports season. The campaign will be run during the 2012 Olympics staged in London and is sure to increase awareness about first aid.
The Save The Royal Surrey campaign was a major success. Many other campaigns have been influenced by its success and Surrey based businesses are offering resources and running projects to sustain their much needed services. Locals are currently supporting these campaigns to bring about better facilities in Surrey.
Are you about to go into the Royal Surrey County Hospital? Maybe you have already been in? We know that going into hospital can be a scary enough experience, and a period afterwards of not being able to do much is daunting enough, without you having to worry about mundane issues like how will your house remain clean while you’re away, and how will you clean it whilst you’re convalescing. Fortunately, there is a respected, local cleaning service called Time for You Farnham which will deal with this, so you can focus on getting yourself well and up and about. They offer reliable, affordable and trustworthy cleaning services in North Hampshire, West Surrey and South Berkshire. They will discuss your personal requirements with you so that they do exactly what you want, with the same cleaner each week so you always see the same friendly face. They will even do the ironing, make the bed and do your washing, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
At the end of the day, campaigns such as the one which saved the Royal Surrey can only go so far with just the support of large numbers. Yes, marches, petitions, letters to MPs showing huge support can make a difference, but it is also vital to have TopLawFirms on your side, as major issues like this take into account a huge amount of legal issues, which only those experienced and highly trained in the law understand in depth. Without good lawyers, campaigns find themselves fumbling around in the dark, unsure of what they can do and should do in order to succeed. Therefore, getting a good solicitor should be the first step in any campaign, whether it is to save a hospital, protect an area of outstanding natural beauty, or stop a bus route closing.
