Our cover photograph “What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep and cows” Sonja Fox is a local Worthing photographer, who feels that the above quotation from the poem ‘Leisure’ by W.H. Davies sums up the ethos behind her work. She finds looking through the lens of a camera focuses her attention, encouraging her to slow down and appreciate the beauty and wonder of God’s creation, whether it’s the sea in any of its different moods, the changing colours of the countryside through the seasons, the intricate form of a flower or the inquisitive look on the face of a sheep.

Her motivation as a photographer is to capture and share some of this beauty in the hope her images will bring as much pleasure to others as she has had in taking them.

Sonja is self-taught and aims for her images to be a true reflection of the view she sees through the lens. To that end, digital manipulation is kept to an absolute minimum, although she does enjoy converting particular images to black and white, sometimes retaining just one or two colours.

Having been involved in the Worthing Art Trail for the past three years, exhibiting both at Heene Gallery and in the Southern Pavilion, Sonja is looking forward to showing her work at West Worthing Baptist Church this summer as part of the 2016 Worthing Artists Open Houses.

A range of Sonja’s work can be seen in various formats at ‘Inspired by the Sea’, situated on the promenade next to Worthing Pier and also at ‘Mrs Bramble & Friends’ in Portland Road, Worthing.

More images can be viewed on her website, www.beneaththeboughs.co.uk.

On the trail of bluebells Julie Singleton discovers some of the best bluebell walks in Sussex As the earth warms, the countryside is undergoing a magical transformation. Enter ancient woodland during late April or May and you may be met with a haze of blue light and an intoxicating scent, at which few can fail to marvel.

This feast for the senses is created by the humble bluebell which races to flower before the woodland canopy closes above.

The UK has the finest bluebell carpets in the world and each year botanists travel from abroad to view this fleeting spectacle.

This vibrant blue flower hasn’t always been merely an object of beauty however – Bronze Age people used bluebell glue to attach feathers to their arrows; a process known as ‘fletching’. The sap was used to bind pages into the spines of books and the bulbs crushed to provide starch for the ruffs of Elizabethan collars and sleeves.

Steeped in folklore, bluebells were often known as ‘fairy flowers’ as it was believed that fairies used them to trap passersby – particularly small children!

It was also thought that if you

could turn one of the flowers inside out without tearing it, you would eventually win the one you loved.

The good news is that you don’t have to travel far to find a good display. One celebrated trail is Arlington Bluebell Walk and Farm Trail, Polegate, (www.bluebellwalk.co.uk) which opens in April for its 44th year, having already raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for over 60 charities. There are seven walks, all around a mile long, and the Beatons Wood trail is suitable for wheelchair users. You can also visit Parkwood Farm next door, where you can see pigs, sheep and goats and even watch the dairy herd being milked.

At nearby Sheffield Park and Gardens, (www.nationaltrust.org. uk/sheffield-park-and-garden) carpets of bluebells can be found throughout the garden and in the woodland beyond. There are 250 acres of parkland to explore with wide open spaces and dramatic skies, and you can also enjoy lunch at the tea room which is set in the original Victorian brick stable block.

If you are feeling nostalgic, then you could take a trip to Winnie-the-Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood (really Ashdown Forest: www.ashdownforest. org) at the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With spectacular views over the Sussex countryside, you can see bluebells, wood anemone and wood sorrel, as well as roe and fallow deer in their hundreds.

An exciting mix of nightingale song and bluebells are on offer at Ebernoe Common, Petworth, (https:// www.sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/ visit/ebernoe-common) where for centuries, commoners used to turn out their cattle or pigs to graze. The Sussex Wildlife Trust purchased 75 hectares of the common in 1980, when much of the woodland was under threat of destruction, and it is now a thriving reserve.

Finally the National Trust’s Slindon Estate on the South Downs (www.nationaltrust.org. uk/slindon-estate) offers guided bluebell walks in an area which includes woodland, farmland

and chalk grassland. The estate has recently begun the National Trust’s biggest ever woodland restoration project, to return 185 acres to its pre-wartime wooded landscape.

This is just a small sample of the bluebell walks available in Sussex and you can find more by searching online or visiting your Tourist Information Centre.

A word of caution though: bluebell flowering is affected by temperature – on average the last week in April proves to be the best time, but check before you leave.

So don’t miss out on one of the most enchanting experiences that nature can offer – put on your wellies, bring the grandchildren and enjoy the benefits of a walk in a fairy tale wood.

Caring 4 you

M.E. isn’t Yuppie Flu One woman’s bid to regain her old self

It was in 2009 I first noticed my symptoms. I‘d just lost my mother to cancer and it didn’t appear out of the ordinary to experience an overwhelming level of fatigue and to feel I’d lost my entire ability to think, or assimilate information.

After time off work I felt “normal” again and returned to work and my life as it had been before.

Over the next 5 years the symptoms began to “bite harder” and I lost my previous “high speed and very driven” approach to life.

Visit the day-time café to enjoy a breakfast, lunch or have a relaxing evening drink watching the sunset over Worthing.

This multi-purpose venue is perfect for weddings, balls and corporate events.

If I use the analogy of my being a little Spitfire fighter plane before M.E., very fast, skilled at outmanoeuvring much of life’s turbulence, and in the habit of reaching my targets, you will get the picture. The engines were cutting out, and I was shouting “Mayday”!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalopathy (CFS/ ME) is very tricky to diagnose.

The symptoms are mainly persistent physical and mental fatigue with a host of other symptoms that vary from person to person. Mine have been muscle and joint pain, headaches, swollen glands, sore throats, dizziness, and poor sleep patterns leaving me feeling exhausted the next day. I developed sensitivities to products and foods previously tolerated and at times found light and noise extremely painful. I felt I’d become allergic to life.

In order to diagnose this condition, doctors must exclude around 40 other conditions that cause fatigue, and this can be a lengthy process. To say this can leave you feeling lost, isolated and overwhelmed is an understatement.

After many tests and a referral to the Sussex Wide CFS/ME service I was assessed, diagnosed and completed their self-management programme.

This has transformed my life. I have learned that “the Spitfire” had gone through her life at such high speeds she had never given herself the time or permission to listen to the signals from her body, or indeed her mind. To put it bluntly, I’d given too much time and energy to others both at work and in my personal life, with little regard for my own needs. Humans are not designed for this way of life and only balance equals good

health.

The woman I am today is very different. I break up my daily activities with opportunities to rest and I’m very organised.

Energy is a valuable commodity rarely wasted. I still give to others, but not to the detriment of my own well-being. I’m slowly recovering.

The ME Connect Helpline is 0844 576 5326 or email meconnect@meassociation. org.uk

Fatigue I am fatigue, I seeped through your door, You whizzers, you runners, You fell to the floor, I rendered you weak, I rendered you still, For Me, you poor lovelies, There’s no bitter pill!

I change who you are, In the blink of an eye, Now housebound you fester, Can’t reach for the sky, But sooner or later, You’ll see in my heart, I mean you no malice, Just a fresh start.

You constantly give, You reach and you strive, Like a bee you bounce busy, From hive to hive, But trust me my friends, That really can’t last, You’re a part of the play, Just one of the cast.

So now take your bow, And leave your old role, The shift will feel hard, But you’re an old soul, You’ll implement balance, You’ll put love back in, You’ll value yourself, And then you will win.

For life is for living, Feeling and love, I am fatigue, I come from above.

In June this year the Queen celebrates her official birthday amid pomp and splendour in a way that only the British can do. The 21st April will be her private birthday, so from all of us at Caring 4 Sussex, we would like to say: Happy Birthday, Your Majesty.

Sue Harding – a new exhibition

Sue Harding at work

You know you’ve arrived as an artist when people start to collect your work. Sue Harding is one such artist who has been selling her paintings for many years and won competitions for her work. Her exhibition at The

Studio, Worthing Museum, will run from Saturday 12th March to Saturday 2nd April.

Sue says, “I have a fascination for painting the sea and shoreline. From nostalgic paintings and installations

Daffy dog Alan – much loved rescue pet belonging to Jane and Mario at Russell’s Mobility – having fun among the spring flowers in Beach House Park, is caught on camera by Pamelia Long.

Pammy’s love of photography, nurtured for half a century, has brought her much pleasure. Animal portraits are her speciality but her work covers many subjects. Her other love, Creative Writing, led her to run her own group. You can contact her for more information on both subjects on 07786893051 or email pamelialong@btinternet.com

evoking days gone by to current scenes, my exhibition conjures up some of the sights and sounds of what we experience at the seaside. The paintings on display are of Worthing and the surrounding area, as well as a collection of seascapes of the West Country.

Many of the images depict my own family, from her my great aunt in the 1920s to my granddaughter in the 2000s, showing how through the decades families have enjoyed the unique excitement and experience of the seaside.

I use many different media to create my images, including acrylics, watercolour and pastels, plus some mixed

media pieces – combining photography and painting, blurring the lines between the two art forms to give a different visual experience.”

Sue moved to Worthing in 2000, gaining an Honours Degree in Fine Art Painting at Northbrook College in 2003.

She enjoys running – 10k runs to half marathons – training along the seafront, where she often gets inspiration for her work.

Prints, cards and postcards of Sue’s work can be purchased from Worthing Museum Shop and ‘Inspired by the Sea’ (next to Worthing Pier) or through her website.

Kendricks of Worthing celebrates 50 years of trading Kendricks, the independent wholesale coffee roaster, is marking 50 years in business with a rebrand and the relaunch of its House Blend Espresso as ‘Café 50’.

The new brand focuses on the rich heritage of the Kendricks name, celebrating the experience that the company has within the industry and their ability to move with the times.

The family owned company was launched in 1964 by Thalben Kendrick Loydell, who had previously worked for one of Europe’s largest coffee merchants. Trading from premises in Prospect Place, Worthing, Thalben supplied local restaurants and hotels with

The new shop front

with a business that also made people their main priority’.

Kendricks’ philosophy is to build strong relationships with customers, suppliers and within their own team. They excel at offering approachable, professional and supportive advice, providing a truly personalised service, with bespoke packages according to individual needs and budgets.

‘An exceptional coffee is made with good knowledge of coffee, great training, uncompromising standards and passion,’ says Philip. ‘Each coffee that is roasted is set to an exact temperature, time and moisture setting, providing us with

excellent control, accuracy and consistency – ensuring that every roast comes out the same.

‘A vital part in the coffee making process is the barista, who ultimately ensures the quality of the coffee in every cup. We have a brand new training room at our premises in Ocean Parade, Ferring, where we train our clients’ baristas every step of the way – from coffee grinding to coffee extraction, and milk foaming techniques through to service.

‘We also supply espresso machines and bean to cup machines, technical support, café support and advice – providing an exceptional coffee

experience for everyone. Cafés, bistros, restaurants, hotels, caterers, conference centres, football clubs, leisure centres, golf clubs and more are serving Kendricks’ freshly roasted coffee and tea throughout Sussex, Surrey & Hampshire.

‘These counties are home to some fabulous businesses, sports teams, projects, schools and colleges, and Kendricks has always been keen to support them. We are proud sponsors of Northbrook College Sussex’s motorsport team, Team Northbrook Racing, and Worthing Football Club, who are going from strength to strength thanks to George Dowell and his vision and investment in the club.

In the 1980s,Thalben’s son Philip joined the company, and now as Managing Director, Philip has just welcomed his own son Robert on board, as the third generation of the Loydell family business.

Philip says, ‘Our commitment to understanding individual needs is the key to both our success and that of our clients.

We chose local company ‘Spring Create’ for our rebrand as it was important that we worked

By raising local awareness, Kendricks hopes to help expand and develop these organisations to make this community stronger. That way, we can all watch the area grow and prosper.’

Concerned about your home being sold to fund your future care fees?

The Issue

You probably own your home as joint tenants if you are a couple and solely if you are single. For couples this means you own it wholly, jointly and severally. Ultimately therefore you do not own it 50:50 as you might have assumed. You actually own all of it together and when one partner dies the surviving partner owns it solely and absolutely.

It is sole and absolute ownership that enables a whole property to be taken into consideration as an asset by the local authority and puts the property in danger of needing to be sold to fund care.

The Reality Today

The care Act 2014 introduced in April 2015 allows local authorities to assess your assets to determine if you need to pay for your own care under the new charges and assessment of resources regulations.

Currently if you have assets above £23,250, you are on your own and require care, you will probably have to pay for it all - currently averaging around £1,000 per week.

Savings, cash and income would be used first and then your property would need to be taken into consideration. You would be expected to pay for all of your care until such time as your assets were depleted to below the £23,250 threshold.

You would then pay for a proportion of your care until your assets were below £14,250 - at which point all your future care would be paid for after any relevant income was taken into account.

The Solution

For couples, simply by changing the way you own your property well in advance of any care considerations i.e. from joint tenants to tenants in common and by setting up two property Trusts either immediately or within a properly structured Will at the same time will in most cases, protect the integrity of your home should you ever require care in the future, so long as avoiding care fees was not a primary motivating reason behind the implementation fo the strategy - i.e. you should be looking to protect your half of your property should your spouse remarry after your death, or you should be looking to ensure that your children would not lose 50% of their inheritance should they be made bankrupt or divorce or for example you should be looking to prevent a generational inheritance tax burden in the future. These are all sound reasons for implementing this strategy which in themselves are not deliberate deprivation of assets, but the implemantation of which protects the integrity of the property.

For sole owners the process is simply to set up a Trust now and convey your property into it which will produce the same result again this must be well in advance of any care considerations and the motivation must not solely be for the purpose of preventing your home being used to fund your care.

of the other half they have complete control over the property and what happens to it. The children and/or whoever else is also nominated as ultimate Trust Beneficiaries will have access to that half of the property when the surviving partner dies. The first half of the property then is 100% securely in Trust for the beneficiaries and will not be at risk. As a result of this simple strategy and because it is not possible to sell just the survivor’s half of the property, the integrity of the property is protected. While the ‘’market value” of half a property is negligible, The Care Act 2014 guidelines do allow for this half to have a charge placed on it under a deferred payment arrangement for care fees which is why this package includes a Lasting Power of Attorney grant for Property and Financial affairs which will enable a pre-appointed Attorney to act on behalf of the survivor should they be unable to themselves and negotiate with the Local Authority for the property to be rented out and a percentage of the income given to the Local Authority instead of a charge being placed. The second half of the property would then ultimately go into the Trust for access by the nominated beneficiaries when the surviving partner eventually dies.

With our Whole of Life and Post Death Complete Property and Family Protection Package both halves of the property are conveyed into Trust IMMEDIATELY. This means the whole property is protected straight away and not just after the first party dies. The benefits of this package are that it then protects the property even if both parties go into care before the death of either. It also means that if the survivor goes into care the property does not have to be rented but if it is 100% of the income goes directly into the Trusts for the benefit of the survivor or any of the other Trust Beneficiaries and does not have to be given to the Local Authority. The most important benefit of this package though is the property can be sold at any time and the resulting proceeds be fully protected for the whole family within the Trusts and no negotiation with the Local Authority is required.

Sole owners and couples who have immediately conveyed their properties into Trust well in advance of any care consideration and not solely for the purpose of preventing their home being used to fund their care (deliberate deprivation of assets) secures the integrity of the property (so long as entry into care is not within 6 months of setting up the strategy) as the property is not absolutely owned by an individual anymore and it is not legal to force a Trustee to do something that is not in the ultimate best interest of the Trust Beneficiaries.

Call us now for a friendly chat about which package would be of best benefit to you and your family.

The Reasoning

When you own your home as tenants in common you actually own half each. With our Post death Property Protection Package when the first partner dies, they leave their half into their Trust. The surviving partner is the Trustee of that Trust and also the Primary Beneficiary which means that as they own half and are Trustee

Welcome In Worthing Community Programme

A Welcome Break for Carers The Welcome Break aims to provide carers with the opportunity to take a break. While the person being cared for enjoys a sociable morning of activity, the carer can take time out at home or in town.

We enjoy outings to places of interest in the area.

Recently we've been to Broadbridge Heath and Portsmouth historic Dockyard, The Bluebell Railway and other places of interest.

The group is based at 9-13 Crescent Road, Worthing and we meet Tuesdays and Thursdays 10.00am – 3.30pm.

There’s ample indoor and outdoor seating, both with good views of the activities in the Basin.

Adjacent to the cafe there’s a Visitor Centre located in a 19th century old stable which has been refurbished to provide information about the canal and its history.

Boat trips also depart from the Basin. As well as scheduled daily trips, the boats are available for charter for social occasions including lunch, dinner and evening cruises. Passengers of all abilities are welcome and there is disabled access on both boats.

Are you living with dementia?

There’s help and support available nearby Thanks to recent exposure in the media – with soap storylines and news items from celebrities – Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are no longer the misunderstood, taboo and needlessly embarrassing topics they once were.

The confidence of those experiencing or caring for people with dementia has been strengthened to a large extent because of the work of Alzheimer’s Society. The charity champions the rights of people living with dementia and the millions of people who care for them and support them to live well with dementia today.

Locally the Alzheimer’s Society offers a range of services for people living with dementia.

The Sussex Dementia Care and Support Service provides flexible, personalised and friendly one-

to-one care and support and is registered with the Care Quality Commission.

The registered manager will work with you to assess your needs and discuss the options available.

All the highly skilled home support workers receive specialist training enabling those they visit to carry on with their lives at home, with personal care delivered in a dignified way. The service is available throughout the Brighton and Hove and West Sussex Coastal area. The team’s dedication to the standard and continuity of care has been recognised at the 2014 Great British Care Awards.

They’ve won both the National Dementia Care Award and South East Dignity in Care Award.

As one client says, “My mother gets to see another person she can trust and socialise with on the visits. And I have advice and support if things get too difficult.”

West Sussex Dementia Support Service – dementia support workers offer information and practical guidance to help people understand dementia, live with day to day challenges and prepare for the future. It also provides support groups for carers with activity groups for people with dementia running alongside them.

Hopefully we’ve found some interesting places to tempt you to explore in springtime Sussex.

Horsham Museum

Moving into spring, there’s no excuse for staying indoors.

Abandon the fireside, and head out for some fresh air to visit the more unusual visitor attractions across Sussex.

West Sussex Horsham Museum is an attractive building, with 26 galleries full of art, photographic, costume and archive collections, and gardens.

Described on their website as “the Victoria and Albert (museum) in miniature”, with free admission there is something for everyone. Nearby Steyning Museum houses fossils, pots, jewellery, relics and maps amongst ever changing displays of local artefacts.

Travel further west to find Storrington Museum containing items of interest from Storrington and surrounding villages. There are archaeological finds, family history information and items from both world wars.

Heading towards the coast, Littlehampton boasts two visitor centres. Look and Sea

Congratulations Great War Britain: West Sussex, Remembering 1914-18 – reviewed on this page in 2014 – has been given an award for the best local history title of 2013-14 submitted to CILIP, the Chartered Institute of Library & Information Professionals.

The Alan Ball Local History Award is open to any publicly funded organisation in the UK to encourage high quality local publications, both in print and in new media. The book was the culmination of a two-year Heritage Lottery funded project, led by WSCC’s Library Service in partnership with West Sussex Record Office. You can buy or borrow a copy through your local library. Much initial research work was undertaken by 150 volunteers listing over 10,000 events from local newspapers and creating over 100 case studies of servicemen and Home Front topics. Our congratulations to all concerned.

Their latest project – Military Voices Past and Present, an oral history study running until November 2018, aims to compare the experiences and sacrifices made by Great War combatants with those made by modern day veterans, including new interviews with around 25 survivors of various conflicts from 1939-45 to Afghanistan. Maybe you are able to offer a contribution.

All material will be digitised and significant extracts made freely available online and there will be a travelling display, new web pages with audio clips and an inventive educational programme involving local schools. A book of the interviews will be supplied free to all West Sussex schools, public libraries, colleges, universities and veteran associations. Worthing Library and West Sussex Record Office will preserve all resulting material. emma.white@westsussex.gov.uk 03302 228370

WOW they’re back, bigger and better Whether you’re a writer, reader, performer or audience, this is the event for you. This year’s Worthing WOW Festival – World of Words – incorporates numerous events in all genres across the area.

From 28th May there’s a fortnight of celebrations of 120 years of Film in Sussex including two major exhibitions.

Worthing Museum and Art Gallery explores early film equipment, and Shoreham’s Marlipins Museum showcases early film-making at Bungalow Town. Shoreham Fort will recreate an exact copy of the backdrop used in the first film ever made there in 1914. You’ll be able to follow a heritage trail about early film making, locations and cinemas in the area. WOW Artistic Director Melody Bridges has published a book about female pioneers in cinema.

There’s a free ‘flash fiction’ competition – the winning entry to be published online by WOW. Flash fiction – a very short story of no more than 300 words in this instance – must contain all the qualities of a longer piece, so you really need to grab the reader. The deadline is 1st May, and the judge is Worthing’s own best-seller, Pam Weaver www.westsussexwriters.co.uk for details.

DAWN’S VINTAGE ‘DOs’

Dawn Gracie is a vintage entertainer with her heart in the 50s & 60s. Since she first made this her full time career in 2012, Dawn has performed at weddings and parties and of course has a circuit of nursing homes and day centres where her interactive and showgirl style is always well received.

More than just a singer, Dawn also organises ‘DOs’ such as the Forget Me Not afternoon tea which is a Dementia Awareness event on 22nd May – Dawn is an official Dementia Champion

and is incredibly proud of the happiness she can bring to those living with dementia and her performances are designed to capture the nostalgia and aura of the heady days when Brenda Lee and Elvis ruled the hit parade.

The Forget Me Not afternoon tea is sponsored by Thomas Eggar – part of Irwin Mitchel – who say ‘This event is about focusing on the strong, positive communities that exist to support those affected by this distressing disease. Looking back on happy memories of times gone by can bring moments of real joy to those with dementia, and my colleagues and I are very much looking forward to attending and, of course, dressing to impress in keeping with the vintage theme.” www.dawnsvintagedo.com

Take financial advice on paying for care before making a decision

Thinking about your care needs may seem a long way off when you are planning for the future, but many people will need some kind of care at some point in their lives. Or you may be thinking now about the care needs of a loved one.

There are a variety of ways to pay for care and getting good financial advice in advance is essential, because choosing longterm care could be one of the most expensive decisions you make after buying a house. As people are living longer and need to fund a greater period of retirement than before, it makes sense to include potential care costs in your financial planning.

The Carewise care funding advice scheme can help with that financial planning. Carewise was set up by West Sussex County Council, Age UK West Sussex, West Sussex Partners in Care and the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) to provide information and advice about paying for long-term care.

Carewise includes a panel of care fees specialists, who are independent financial advisers specialising in financial planning for later life. They can advise you on the different options that are available and help you preserve your savings and assets for as long as possible.

All the Carewise care fees specialists are members of the ‘Buy with Confidence’ scheme and accredited by the SOLLA, a consumer organisation that aims to improve the standard of financial advice for older people. They are also Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked and trained in safeguarding adults. To find out more or arrange a referral, go to www.westsussexconnecttosupport.org/carewise or phone West Sussex County Council’s Adults’ CarePoint on 01243 642121.

The common or garden allotment has much to offer says Peter Noone around 126 square metres, although you may find larger or smaller plots. Rents vary significantly but expect to pay between £5 and £10 per square rod. Many offer discounts for senior citizens so be sure to ask if you think you might be entitled.

Health benefits

In recent years the profusion of food programmes with accompanying celebrity chefs has successfully promoted the health benefits of fresh fruit and vegetables. What better way to realise these benefits than to grow your own? However, modern gardens seem to get smaller and smaller; this has ensured our interest in the humble allotment is as strong as ever.

Applying for an allotment

Renting your space

Demand for allotments exceeds supply so be prepared to join a waiting list. Plots will be managed either by your local council or by a management committee. Some will allow you to apply online, while others need you to email or telephone the council or management committee to be added to the waiting list.

How much rent you pay varies across council areas and will also depend on the size of your space. Curiously, many councils and committees measure their plots by rods or square rods, an ancient unit of imperial measurement. A rod is 5½ yards, so a square rod is 30¼ square yards or 25.29 square metres.

A typical plot is 5 square rods,

As well as the health benefits from fresh food, exercise, and fresh air, an allotment brings great social benefits too with many new friendships formed with other gardeners who are always willing to help.

The National Allotment Society The National Allotment Society offers lots of useful news and information as well as membership that confers other benefits such as discounts.

Dr S a rah’s Case b o ok

Listen to your body and don’t eat the daffodils As any regular reader will know, there have been times when I would have taken the NHS 111 service and all who sail in her and sunk it to the bottom of the deepest ocean. Imagine my confusion then at feeling a genuine desire to vehemently defend it for a change.

The tragic case of a baby whose condition went unrecognised and sadly died as a result, highlights the Achilles Heel of this service. It is NOT for emergencies requiring a 999 ambulance NOW. A team of non medical call handlers, however diligent, wellmeaning and well supported, paid not much above the minimum wage and following an algorhythm, will inevitably over and – from time to time – under triage some calls.

The ability to accurately determine the care someone needs over the phone is a skill requiring a high level of clinical experience and expertise, particularly where the very old, young or disabled are concerned. Significant illness in these groups may present

atypically or more subtly.

NHS 111 and its call handlers bear a massive responsibility. It will always be easier to identify those cases where there were shortcomings, rather than the thousands of successful encounters. Over triage to the Emergency Department is a natural consequence of this ‘Better Safe Than Sorry’ approach. This does place huge additional pressures on already overstretched Emergency Departments, but is the pay off for reducing the risk of missing significant illness.

The danger of advice lines, is that we lose touch with our instincts, common sense and what our bodies are trying to tell us. I believe that humans are generally wired up to want to survive. If we listened to our instincts more, we would most likely triage ourselves appropriately.

In the case of children, they are not little adults. Infants under a year old can be a challenging group to assess accurately, even for experienced staff. Sick infants under a

year need to be expertly assessed in the flesh. Phone advice is rarely adequate.

And finally, after a recent trip to the supermarket where I had to stare bemusedly at a label on daffodils reminding me not to have them for lunch, and that a packet of nuts may contain, er, nuts, I should like to start a campaign for common sense labelling. Yes, daffodils will cause unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects if you are fool enough to eat

them. But so presumably will cat-litter or sanitary towels.

Retailers should not be held responsible for your stupidity – fear of litigation must be where all this comes from.

Unless you want to be a contender for the Darwin Awards (worth checking out); don’t eat stuff that’s not food, don’t play on the motorway and take care around knives, firearms, chain saws, cliffs and scaffolding. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

I provide a truly bespoke service by working with you, your families, friends and others and will write and deliver the ceremony you want, where and when you want it.

If you are looking for inspiration, someone to shape a ceremony or breathe life into plans you already have then together we can achieve an occasion that best celebrates the day that you would wish for, for yourselves and your loved ones – a dignified, meaningful and memorable occasion.

If you think I can be of service to you, please get in touch.
