Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds
anything we can understand

His peace will guard your hearts as you live in Christ Jesus.

The outcome of trusting God is not merely that the worries
disappear but they are replaced by peace.

ACTION FOR HEALTH AND CARE
IN PURBECK

One of the concerns that the ACTION for HEALTH and CARE in
PURBECK Group has, following various comments made by
members of the public, is that they are being offered health
appointments at one of our 3 major hospitals ie Poole,
Bournemouth and Dorchester when sometimes those clinics also
run in either Swanage or Wareham Community Hospitals, much
nearer to their homes.

So we urge anyone being offered a health appointment at any of
these to question the booking clerk whether this could be done
more locally. The booking agents usually offer the first available
appointment rather than looking at the geography. So if your
condition is not urgent ask whether you could be seen in either
Wareham or Swanage, making travel much shorter and easier.
Of course if you need help quickly your first port of call is still the
111 phone line and for emergencies 999.

It is important you do this, even if your condition might be
treatable at the MIU in Swanage, so that you can be advised about
the best and safest course of action.
