Update on PCH Audit
Today 5 teams covered 20 Ward Area’s of Peterborough City Hospital @ Bretton.
I was teamed with The Facilities Manager and Infection Control Manager.
Our visit on each Ward was around 45 minutes and we only ‘found’ one area that needed immediate attention.
We were ‘treated’ to the same food that patients receive – there was a good choice and all food is ‘cooked’ on the Ward.
This was the first assessment for 3 years as none were done whilst the COVID Pandemic
was at high levels.
Tomorrow Thursday I will be part of a small team at Peterborough City Hospital.
We are conducting a ‘Patient Led Assessment’ of the Hospital Environment, this includes everything except Medical criteria.
It will include access, cleanliness, food, decore.
How people with Dementia are being treated.
Toilets, Hygiene and associated equipement.
Privacy, Dignity and Wellbeing.
The above are some of a raft of things we will be assessing.
The results are fed back to the Hospital Directorate & Management.
I shall be out all day and will not be putting any posts up until tomorrow evening.

CAB Update – September
 Welcome to our monthly newsletter. Here we will bring you up-to-date with how Citizens Advice Rural Cambs is continuing to provide expert advice and support to help the residents of rural Cambridgeshire through these troubled times.
Foodbank Projects We have successfully recruited to our 3 new Foodbank projects (Ely Foodbank, Godmanchester & St Neots Foodbanks and Wisbech Foodbank). Our new members of staff, who have now joined us, are currently undergoing training before joining existing staff, who will also be working on these projects and are already working closely with the Foodbanks. Through these projects CARC will be working in partnership with the foodbanks to tackle underlying causes of poverty by providing advice, casework and support for people referred to us by the foodbanks. Our adviser / buddy will provide intensive support, and make a real difference to the lives of people accessing foodbanks – successfully reducing their need for foodbank support and developing resilience in their lives.
Funding for our Money Advice Service Having reported in a previous issue that the funding for this project was up for recommissioning via national Citizens Advice (CitA), without any guarantees of success, we are pleased to advise that we have received confirmation from CitA recently that funding through Money and Pensions Service has been extended for a further 26 months as from the 1st February 2023. We have successfully maintained funding for this project since 2014 and have an Advice Quality Standard accreditation for debt advice. Through this service we are able to provide debt advice up to and including applying for Debt Relief Order (where appropriate), together with helping clients to improve their financial skills/budgeting. Our dedicated Money Advice team offer face to face appointments in our offices in Wisbech and Huntingdon, along with telephone appointments for clients in East Cambs, Fenland and Huntingdonshire. Our mailing address is: Citizens Advice Rural Cambs |

U3A Cinema Night 15th October
‘BELFAST’ (12a)
Showing 15th October 2022
A heart warming and poignant story of love and laughter and the loss of one boy’s childhood amid the music and social turmoil of the late 1960’s, written and directed by Kenneth Branagh. The boy namely ‘Buddy’ lives with his family in a predominantly Protestant area of Belfast, with a few Catholic families. His life gets turned upside down when his family get mixed up in the mayhem of the city, and Buddy must decide to stay or leave is home.
Through it all his passionate parents (Caltriona Balfe and Jamie Dorman) and his quick witted grandparents (Academy Award winner) Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds, keep the joy alive in him through music and the magic of movies in this feel – good story of never forgetting where your roots are.
A great movie with an excellent cast and well worth seeing soon to be a ‘Classic’.
Doors open at 6:30pm with of course refreshments of tea/coffee/biscuits in the interval are provided.
All cinema nights performed at Whittlesey Methodist Church, Queen Street, Whittlesey.
Suggested donation £5pp

2.3 Million Living With Long COVID – ONS
| Welcome to Monday’s coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights, a roundup of our analysis related to the pandemic.
An estimated 2.3 million people in private households in the UK (3.5% of the population) were experiencing self-reported long COVID as of 3 September 2022. Of those, almost half (46%) reported experiencing long COVID symptoms at least one year after first having (suspected) COVID-19. The most common long COVID symptoms continued to be fatigue (69% of those with self-reported long COVID), followed by difficulty concentrating (45%), shortness of breath (42%) and muscle ache (40%). Symptoms adversely affected the day-to-day activities of 1.6 million people, or 72% of those with self-reported long COVID. We also reported that the percentage of people testing positive for COVID-19 continued to increase in England, increased in Northern Ireland and trends were uncertain in Wales and Scotland in the latest week.

KD X Update
A message from the King’s Dyke project team:
The two-way traffic lights have been set up along the old A605 and Funtham’s Lane to complete the construction of this final section of carriageway, which involves the installation of kerbs, drainage, footpath creation and re-surfacing.
The lights are scheduled to be in operation for another two weeks, operating 24 hours a day until completion.
This will not impact the flow of A605 traffic.
