Just to raise awareness of the Spectrum Autism Friendly Festival at Lea Green, near Matlock.

They are apparently struggling to sell enough tickets this year & it is apparently a brilliant event.

Small entry fee then everything inside is included - goody bags on arrival with cool fidgets etc; climbing adventure courses, pony rides, popcorn making, toasting marshmallows, craft activities, go karts, cookie decorating, soft play and so much more.

It’s another sad day for us as we say good bye and good luck to Dr Blanshard who leaves us today for a role closer to home.
She joined us about 2 years ago and really made a positive impact to the whole team. Her enthusiasm, dedication, expert ENT knowledge and experience will be missed and difficult to replace
Please join us to say good bye and good luck as she embarks on a new part of her career journey.

But it turns out that gardening brings more than (mostly) good feelings... there is an evidence base for the physical and mental health benefits!

tl;dr - gardening can improve reduce stress and bring a measurable improvement to depression. It can actually improve biomarkers such as cortisol levels, heart rate variability and dyslipidaemia. And it can have meaningful real world improvements for health outcomes for people with comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, including reducing A&E attendances/unplanned primary care visits. 🚑

So after a challenging day why not soak up some of the soothing mental health effect, or benefit to long term muscle and bone health that comes with some green fingered activity. 🌱🌱

Objective To systematically identify and describe studies that have evaluated the impact of gardens and gardening on health and well-being.
