    Yet another incident happening in Caerphilly. I wonder what the outcome of this one will be?

    Easy to suspect that the incident will end in ` no further action`.

    Certainly no Police Time should be expended on it beyond acting on any information they may be given by the public, Gobby` people are Gobby people in all walks of life, did he steal anything? did he assault anyone?, did he threaten to ` duff someone up`? not according to the report.

    An incident of "verbal abuse"? don`t make me laugh, it happens every day in Caerphilly town, particularly during the activity periods of the Night Time economy activity. No Police to be seen let alone investigate complaints of it. Over kill and disproportionate to the reported incident.

    Quite agree Jeff. Life is made up of hurtful things. With verbal abuse you just need to ignore it and carry on.

    If the police were called every time someone said something most agreeable, there would be no police left on the beat.

    I agree with the above comments, people have seen fit to verbally abuse me in Caerfili all my life. I can't say I am overly bothered by it, I usually can give as good as I receive or choose to ignore it. A disproportionate action by the police.

    So less an incident and more so an upset. Not quite the lawless badlands of a Mad Max scenario after all then. How disappointing for the regressive daily wail brigade. Still I'm sure they'll find some reason to call for public floggings and issue demands to bring back hanging soon enough.

    On the plus side, the picture might shame the individual in to behaving a little better in future.

  • 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.”
