Wiltshire & Bath: The Big A&E Survey - help the NHS understand more about why people go to local Accident and Emergency Departments

 

If you or a family member have been treated in an Accident and Emergency Department in Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon or Wiltshire recently, the Integrated Care Board (ICB) want to hear from you.

During 2024 there was a 5.6 per cent increase in patient visits to Accident and Emergency Departments (A&Es) in hospitals in Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW), mainly due to a rise in the number of ‘walk-in’ patients.

In order to bring waiting times down, BSW ICB need to understand why more people are going to A&Es instead of using other NHS services, such as GP surgeries, Minor Injury Units or the NHS 111 service. With BSW’s population growing all the time, it’s crucial to know the reasons behind this trend.

Leuchars: Cafe and Soft play in the Community Centre

The Cosy Beans CafĂ© has closed permanently and the future of the coffee shop has not yet been determined. 

Until a decision is made, the soft play and seating area will be open for use from Mon 10 Feb (Mon – Thurs) between the hours of 0900 – 1430 hrs and closed on Fridays.

However individuals using the area will do so at their risk and supervise their own children. A cleaning kit will be available in the area and we ask all users to clean and clear up after themselves to ensure the areas remains clean, hygienic and safe for other users. 

If this does not happen, both areas will be closed.
