We are working with our neighbours at Frome Community Hospital to reduce our impact on the planet and help protect and improve the health of local people. Give the hospital a follow on instagram to see more of what they are up to.

The NHS is responsible for 4-5% of the UKs carbon footprint and we know that climate change can have a negative impact on our health. Therefore, as a practice we are committed to making better decisions about the way we deliver services, in order to reduce the harmful impact on the health of our patients and the environment. We always work in partnership on this where we can, ensuring we can share good practice and learn from what other organisations are doing, and our relationship with Frome Community Hospital is an excellent example of this.

We welcomed Andy Robins, Trust chaplain and Claire Aludicina, Volunteer chaplain on to Marshfield Ward today for a Christmas Carol Service.

Alice led the way with a beautiful solo of Once in Royal David's City and was then accompanied by her mother Rosemary on piano along with Frome Area Christians Together who sang a variety of Christmas Carols for staff, patients and their families to join in. After the main service, the choir visited different areas of the ward to sing carols for those who did not make it into the Day room.

It was lovely to have this on the ward and we know the patients enjoyed hearing and taking part in the singing. Many thanks to Andy, Claire and Janet Cauldwell for organising it.

As seen in our Trust Newsletter 💚. Colleagues at Frome Community Hospital have launched a new ‘Earthly Ideas’ initiative, hoping to make the hospital a more sustainable place to work, stay, or visit.
Each month focuses on a new theme, starting with ‘The Big Seed Giveaway’ in March, followed by a clothes swap event taking place on Wednesday 26 April. All the themes promote and encourage more sustainable ways of living and working, which colleagues can use both during work hours and once they get home.
Senior administrator at the hospital, Melissa Book, came up with the idea for the 12-month initiative. She said: “Our matron, Pete Harvey, came up with the initial idea of seeing what we could do to become a more sustainable hospital. I wanted to make it relevant to colleagues, and involve as many of us as possible, as well as local sustainability groups, which is how ‘Earthly Ideas’ was created.
“We started off with a seed giveaway in March, which was a huge success and has been enjoyed by many visitors over the past few weeks. This month we have a clothes swap for colleagues to get involved with, and next month we hope to remove the majority of plastic cups, encourage colleagues to reduce their use of gloves and aprons (where appropriate!), and introduce Nick Burns-Cox’s PIP project across relevant departments.
“None of this would be possible without the support from others. We’ve got strong ties with Frome Medical Practice, who are doing an amazing job with their own sustainability initiatives. We’re hoping to continue to build on this, making the whole campus more sustainable. We’ve also worked closely with our sustainability lead Richard Harper, and sustainability and environmental adviser Jackie Benham, to ensure the initiatives are going to have the right impact, and look forward to attending the Sustainability Summit taking place at Musgrove Park on 27 April.
“I would encourage any colleagues to consider thinking about how you could make your department or area more sustainable – hopefully we have inspired a few to follow what we’ve been up to at Frome!”
