St Martin’s School helps Caerphilly get in Bloom

News | Richard Gurner | Published: 12:12, Wednesday June 19th, 2013.

Pupils from St Martin’s School have been busy planting flowers in Caerphilly town centre.

Caerphilly County Borough Council Parks Services have been working closely with the group of pupils.

Meeting in town or at Dafydd Williams Park on Friday mornings, the pupils have so far replanted the flower tubs along Cardiff Road and worked on the shrub beds at Dafydd Williams Park.

The group are also helping to look after the floral displays in Caerphilly Castle and Castle Street. The planters the group work on are identified by the school and the Caerphilly Town Centre Management Group logos.

Caerphilly Town Centre Management Group kindly funded £500.00 to provide materials for the planters and to support this year’s entry into Wales in Bloom.

    • 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.”
