RALLY: Jonathan Brace will be aiming to kick-start his 2016 campaign with a strong class result at the Red Kite Stages on Sunday, February 21 at the season-opening round of the 2016 Mintex MSA British Historic Rally Championship.

The event, which is based in Llandovery, will see competitors battle against the clock over a total of 45 competitive miles.

Prepared by Dave Jenkins Motorsport, Brace will once again compete in this campaign driving a Braces Bakery-backed Ford Escort RS1800.

Co-driven by Tim Samuel, from New Tredegar, the pair will head into the event off the back of a successful pre-event test held earlier in February.

Brace said: “It was great to be back behind the wheel after the winter break. The slippery conditions at the pre-event test were a perfect opportunity to gain valuable mileage ahead of the Red Kite Stages.”

Demand for what has proved to be an extremely popular event on the British rallying calendar in recent years has once again been high, with over 100 entries received to date and is set to be a thrilling spectacle.

  • A new health board initiative is changing the way menopause care is delivered in GP surgeries across Gwent. The Menopause Champions Project, introduced in June this year by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, aims to give patients going through menopause better access to informed and consistent support from their local practice teams. The scheme was developed by Dr Jayne Forrester-Paton, a menopause and sexual and reproductive health specialist, alongside Dr Michelle Olver, clinical lead of the menopause team, and nurse consultant Nikki Noble. Together, they set out to equip GPs and practice nurses with up-to-date knowledge and practical tools to improve care. So far, 41 GP practices in the region now have a trained “Menopause Champion” — a clinician who can provide advice and guidance on both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options. These champions are backed by a network of colleagues and specialists to help them stay confident in managing more complex cases. Dr Forrester-Paton said the project had already made a strong start and would continue to grow: “We are proud of how successful this project has been so far and will continue to grow, with plans to expand educational sessions for clinicians, offer virtual case discussions to improve care for complex menopause cases and strengthen the collaboration between primary care and specialist menopause services. “The Menopause Champions Project is helping to ensure that menopause is treated with the same care and attention as any other health issue, giving patients the support they need, when they need it.”
