Find out more about bladder problems

You are invited to learn more about bladder weakness and the treatment options available to you at the next Members’ Meeting on Wednesday 26 February at Peterborough City Hospital.
Physiotherapists Liezl Rossouw and Katie Mitchell, who launched the Trust’s Don’t Be Shy, Stay Dry campaign, will be speaking to attendees about the different types of urinary incontinence and why it’s important to seek help.  

Liezl Rossouw, Women’s and Men’s Health Team Lead Physiotherapist, said: “Bladder problems are quite common, affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. Often people are too embarrassed to seek help and just put up with their symptoms, but there are things that we can do to prevent or improve urinary incontinence, such as pelvic floor exercises and other lifestyle changes.
“This is a great opportunity for people to come along and hear what they can do to manage their condition. The team will be available to take questions on the night.”  

The meeting takes place from 6pm to 7.30pm in the Board Room at Peterborough City Hospital on Wednesday 26 February 2020, and is open to members of the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust as well as members of the public to attend. Refreshments will be provided and parking for the meeting will be free.  

To confirm your attendance, please contact The Communications Team on 01733 678024 or email nwangliaft.communications@nhs.net.

Scam – Scam & More Scams – Beware…

I’ve recently been contacted by a resident to warn of a scam phone call purporting to be from BT and threatening that their phone line will be cut off. The resident knew this was a scam because they are not a customer of BT but it is quite likely that many residents in No Cold Calling and Good Neighbours schemes are long-standing customers of BT who would be very worried about the prospect of their line being disconnected.
Please spread the word about this hoax. I believe it’s another one asking the residents to press a number to continue/to avoid being cut off, similar to the previous HMRC and Mastercard scams. Please let people know not to feel threatened, not to press any number as instructed but to simply put the phone down. And encourage them to tell others too. Everyone can play a part in keeping others safe.

I would also like to share a link to Action Fraud’s latest alert about a fake PayPal scam which would be worth sharing with people you know to be using the internet. Essentially the scam is targeted at people selling items online by fraudsters who send a fake PayPal e-mail suggesting payment has been made for an item. The fraudsters then follow this up with an e-mail requesting tracking information – the intention being that the victim will feel rushed into dispatching the goods before they have had a chance to verify the payment. Between October and December 2019 more than £1.1million losses were reported to Action Fraud related to fake PayPal e-mails.
Please warn as many people as possible who you think might use a computer.

With thanks for your ongoing support.

More Courier News Fraud #2

Further to my previous e-mail about courier fraud this morning, I would also like to share a later press release that Cambridgeshire Police put out in relation to recent courier fraud incidents in Cambridgeshire. Please scroll down below my signature. It’s truly awful to learn that there have been victims in Cambridgeshire. Please continue to spread awareness in any way that you can so we can prevent any further harm to financial and emotional health. It is quite possible that residents in your NCCZ or Good Neighbours scheme will be targeted by these disgusting criminals so anything you can do to forewarn residents would be marvellous.

I was also interviewed on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire’s Drivetime programme with Ronnie Barbour on 28th January. If you would like to listen you can do so here at 1:23. If you do not have a BBC account you may be asked to create one to listen to the interview.

Many thanks for your incredible help. Together we can really help to protect local people from the scourge of scams.

Best wishes,
Charlotte

More Courier Fraud News #1

Apologies for being a bit slow with this one as many of you will have already have seen at least some elements of this e-mail by now from other sources. I just thought it worth collating a few things in one place for you to share across your local networks to keep as many people aware and safe from the threat of ‘courier fraud’.
If you are signed up to eCops you will have already received the message below from Cambridgeshire Constabulary (see after my signature) but I also wanted to share an excellent YouTube video here produced by the Metropolitan Police which does a nice job of illustrating how courier fraud and other impersonation fraud works. There is also a recent article in the BBC News which gives a victim account of the devastation caused by courier fraud.

I hope this information is useful to you share onwards within your community. The more people are aware of these despicable practices, the more resilient our communities will be to them.
Thank you very much,
Charlotte

Flood Warning In Effect

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
A Flood Warning has been issued by the Environment Agency.

Flood Warning in force: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice.

Flooding is expected for: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene to the east of Peterborough and the West of the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice.  

Immediate action required.

Heavy rain has been falling on the River Nene catchment over the past 24 hours. During periods of high tide the river will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding at North Bank Road from this evening on Monday 10th February onwards. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media. This Flood Warning is expected to stay in force for several days until tide lock conditions improve. Please follow diversionary routes until the local authority re-open the road. We are operating the Dog-in-a-Doublet sluice to discharge water during low tide, and reduce the flood risk as much as possible.

We will be closely monitoring the situation, and this message will be updated by Tuesday 11 February, or as the situation changes.
