Sheep Grazing At Hursey Common’s Sport Field

**Attention Dog Owners & Walkers**

This summer there has been terrible trouble with the mower and it is currently not working. As a consequence the grass at Hursey Common has got too long to be cut, in order to reduce the grass length sheep are grazing the field and will stay there until it is eaten down in a few days.

Please share this information with other dog owners you know/see as not everyone uses the internet and/or social media.

Thank you.

My Autism My Way – Survey For Young People With Autism In Dorset

Helping children and young people with autism have a voice in the design of services in Dorset

Part of the All Age Autism review

The NHS, councils and voluntary sector are currently working together to improve the way autistic people in Dorset are helped to live their lives. They would like autistic children and young people to have the chance to help us design how autism services might look for them.

Please see their online survey My Autism, My Way HERE , to capture views on what young people with autism think about our ideas so far, as well any other ideas and thoughts.

The survey is aimed at young people up to the age of 25 and has videos explaining each question, and can be done as a group or on an individual basis. Parents & Carers may also complete the forms.

If you are under 16, please ask an adult to complete these questions with you.

Answers are anonymous.

If you would like to find out more about this work, please visit their webpage HERE for more information, or please contact them at communications@dorsetccg.nhs.uk.

The survey will close midday Tuesday 7 September 2021.

Please help by sharing this as widely as possible, with relevant groups, colleagues and friends.

Thank you for your help in promoting this important piece of work.

Support Your Surgery Campaign – Please Share

Launched by the British Medical Association (BMA), a petition calling on the UK Government to provide the urgent resourcing needed to increase the number of GPs in England.

GPs and their teams have faced an extremely challenging time during the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictions have meant that face-to-face contact with patients has been limited in order to keep practice staff and patients safe.

The Support Your Surgery campaign provides GP practices with the tools to both manage expectations and to provide patients with the reality of issues facing general practice.

With the number of GPs falling (due to lack of recruitment and retention) whilst the population rises, demands on GPs are higher than ever. There are millions of patients whose treatment has been delayed due to the pandemic, more tests to administer and additional bureaucracy. GP workload is becoming unmanageable.

GPs and their teams cannot meet this challenge without more support. In signing the petition, the BMA are calling on the UK Government to provide the funding and commitment needed to urgently increase the number of GPs, practice nurses and other practice staff and to improve the premises in which they work. This will help GP practices in England to meet the growing needs of people in our communities, providing the care we and our families need.

Please sign the petition HERE.

Thank you.
