Some of. Our n.h.s. Is in crisis we know that headline on many of the national papers and just a couple of weeks ago those thousands of medical professionals protested in the capital here in some of. Over the last 3 years emergency hospital admissions rose by 29 percent bad one part of the county is bucking the trend a community scheme coordinated by free medical practice has seen the number of admissions dropped by 17 percent over the same period the project helped initiate a group called the leg club for people with ulcers and other conditions is a lot of people don't get much in the way because of the words and they come here. Like anchoring no doing good weekends and then Monday before there is some laughter . They come in on Wednesdays you know whether they're invited up when they're executed up as well and we have an Eastern hour and we have a Christmas tree and it's great because my way I meet people but I think it is really. You know this same many people will be sort of in not small things but things that can meet a nice silence but I think this is actually evenings you know really well the clubs grown from just one member to 300 Dr Helen Kingston is a senior partner at free medical practice and initiator of the free model as it's called is on the line with me now morning to you Helen thank you very much for being with us Helen how did this project start. Started because we had a real desire to try and improve the care that we were giving patients seeing unmet need in our community seeing the complexity of life and the difficulty people were failing in navigating their way through a very complex system so we began this game story in 2014. And tried to build up the resources within our community. When I say that the data coming back out do you quantified that this is working what are you seeing. We are seeing a reduction in the number of people going in this emergency admissions it's very difficult to be able to attribute that to any one particular element of what we're doing but it seems intuitive that if you offer compassion in the way we might want for our families and ourselves treat people with humanity and kindness help them to navigate through the system that something seems to be working in for him. We often hear that one of the big problems within our n.h.s. Services is the number of stars that we have I mean I sort of have to ask in terms of how you do stuff this how you go about in terms of people's time how do you make it work we have been really fortunate Somerset c.c.t. Supported us at the beginning of this project with some innovations funding to enable us to have a team called Health connections working alongside general practice and embedded within the g.p. Surgeries so that we had a resource the community development to work alongside has is this funding Limited does it mean it will come to an end. That funding has been. Secured again for next year and we're working closely with the c.c.t. To try and spread the model that we have in for him across the rest of Mendip and hopefully across the rest of Somerset Yes. There is funding that is required to do that but what we've shown in frame is that for every pound spent. Working in this different way there is a 6 pound saving to the health economy as a whole that seems to arise from that and is that what needs to be pushed really is kept better. It is actually more cost effective so is that what needs to be pushed to because there may be people driving in this morning to their g.p. Practice going hang on a 2nd we want to bit of this how can we go about adopting this model and getting that money. I think that the j are definitely on board with what we're doing and they're working hard with us to try and make this happen and so I think things will evolve. And there is a quiet revolution across lots of areas of the county where individuals are working to build relationships and enhanced social networks to try and develop this way of working so we're not unique in our desire to do this but we have been very fortunate in the support that we've had that is this the future. Are very much hope so it fills me with hope it helps us working in the n.h.s. To feel that we're doing a good job and gives us a sense of agency as well as giving that back to our patients. Hello and thank you so much for being with us this morning Dr Helen Kingston they're talking about a project in Froome which has helped reduce emergency hospital admissions and you'll know from headlines over the last 6 months that such a focus currently isn't it could for him be leading the way in what the solution is spreading out to other parts of not only Somerset but indeed the u.k.

It's still the whole using your people still is a hot water bottle that God may not think tough one moment yeah did you know that that's actually Paul wrote his walk on music to. Travel b.b.c. Somerset pole with us in a moment 1st I hear you as a big cane in a top hat as well when he comes on gold chains there are what's happening right m 5 northbound looking busy heading up towards Bristol so Cribbs Causeway 17 to Aztec West 16 heavy traffic around there same story just off the a 3 o 3 can't get link road out towards the oval taking an extra level minutes to get across the a 3 o 8 this morning inbound well way 371 night quote queuing traffic by the village hall normal face time of day people making their way into Ward Weston super Mare Chester the a 3 o 3 very slow traffic around the party more roundabout again usual for this time of day and finally reaching coming into Taunton from the a 358 queue. Traffic an extra 5 minutes going through Henley towards junction 25 of the m 5 anything else give me a call 134-530-3156 extension 6 thank you very much and they Let's get you Headline News $817.00 his Kelowna project being run by a g.p. Surgery in Somerset says it's helping to ease the pressure on any departments for people are now known to have died in a large explosion in Leicester last night which caused a 2 story building to collapse and people in Burnham on Sea in Highbridge are being asked to check their sheds and carriages as police continue to search for a missing man Tate was last seen on Friday night more from me at half past 8 thank you very much Kelly I know that a lot of the front pages are focusing on Jeremy Corbyn today why well because we're linking him with the topic of of bricks it so much to discuss is the Labor leader will announce he wants Britain to be in a customs union similar to existing trading agreements arrangements with the European Union once the cave course has left the government rejecting the idea no big surprise there poorly is where this poll now is quite a significant step for him isn't it in certain respects is not surprising though Clare This was Labor's policy at last year's general election and has been their position and indeed in directly has been the government's position temporarily at least that we will stay in the Customs Union and indeed the single European market to the 2 year transition period as it's called once you've left the European Union in the years time difference is the government's been absolutely categoric about this when we finally depart that is it finito we're off we're out of the Customs Union ending the present arrangement where the u.k. Can trade with the other member states without terrorists being imposed on the goods we buy and sell so labor except so on of their proposals we won't be an of the Customs Union as it were but we could be in a customs union if you see the difference in that we would have a similar arrangement with our continental neighbors. After breakfast so if nothing else Clare it marks a distinct policy difference between the 2 main parties at a time when both of them have been accused of lacking a certain clarity on where they stand so crudely Labor's policy matches the view of a number of pro European Conservative M.P.'s have already table the Commons motion on this which means in theory at least if it does go to the vote the prime minister Prime Minister risk that she could lose income in the Commons Well yeah and actually the Guardian today is saying that the speech could put series in May on the spot what does happen to the pm if if he is defeated on this moment it's a big question she could accept it but I doubt it the euro skeptics in a party would not tolerate the idea she could seek to overturn it but there's no guarantee with the current arithmetic that she would be successful at present to resume a can get things through with the support of the largest party in Northern Ireland the Democratic Unionists and I think there will be certainly a some skeptics maybe half a dozen who would back the government so you'd need probably about a dozen pro European conservatives to defy their party that's still a tall order I would say because you know even if it comes to the crunch and they do lose it could mean an awful lot of things I mean you might end up with a situation that you end up with a vote of no confidence motion in the government I've only seen that twice in my lifetime 979 when Jim Callaghan's government fell John Major survived one in 1903 if she did if she did lose she might to resign it could lead to another election not another one Brender even a 2nd refere
