Since the Care Quality Commission Inspection (CQC) April 2022, SLMG has made many improvements to ensure that it delivers high quality services to people. The practice recognised that some patients felt their experiences were falling short of the services they deserve. Feedback has been listened to and has helped to drive forward many improvements. It is important to note that the Integrated Care Board are supporting and monitoring a (QIP) for SLMG which was developed using the findings of the inspection. The QIP is reviewed and updated regularly using a risk assessment tool to assess priority actions needed.  The CQC will arrange a visit to SLMG in the future to carry out a targeted inspection of the areas raised.

From reading their website “SLMG welcomed the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspection Team to the practice (exactly a year ago) on Thursday 28 April 2022. We were open and honest and value their comments and advice.

Due to the pandemic most CQC inspections had been postponed.

The Scout Association hold a close and historical relationship with the royal family, to which all members of the movement make a promise when joining to do their duty to the king. Few opportunities exist to fulfil that duty but this weekend scouts from Kibworth and across the Harborough district were able to just that.

When it comes to bunting you cannot beat Mowsley! Villagers made yet more bunting which decorated most of the Village, especially the centre and the village hall. This was where the celebrations of a barbeque and band on the Saturday evening and a street lunch, Coronation Cake competition and Maypole dancing on the Sunday took place. There was a monster raffle as well with the proceeds donated to charity.

2023 is the 25the anniversary of the Good Friday agreement between the Irish Republican Government and the British Government. It brought peace to Northern Ireland and an end to the long held claim of the British government to sovereignty of all Ireland. The agreement was brokered by the United States senator for Maine, Senator George Mitchell, sent for this specific purpose by President Bill Clinton. Later, back in the United States, Senator Mitchell was awarded the Liberty Medal. He made a speech which included these words. 'I believe there is no such thing as a conflict that cannot be ended. They're created and sustained by human beings. They can be ended by human beings. No matter how ancient the conflict, no matter how hateful, no matter how hurtful, peace can prevail. ’A hopeful message

Our April speaker, Dr Tim Gray MBE, gave us a very interesting and thought-provoking talk about the East Midlands Immediate Care Scheme, a charity based in Oakham. Tim had a background in A&E in London. He saw a need for highly trained doctors to attend serious accidents on the roads and in workplaces. He set up the EMICS over 30 years ago, with 21 GPs and hospital doctors. They all giving their services free to provide pre-hospital emergency treatment 24/7.

At the last coronation I was just five years and ten months old. I lived with my parents on a brand new gigantic council house estate. The gardens were marked out with regularly placed concrete posts with strong wire going between the uprights. There were small plants growing beneath the lowest wire. I stood in my garden and said to my neighbour, a girl aged nearly five, over the fence in the adjoining garden, “I bet you, you can’t throw that large stone.” She promptly picked up the nearest boulder without hesitation and tossed the stone towards me. It duly hit me in the face causing my nose to start bleeding. I spent the afternoon of 6 June 1953 perched over a white enamel bucket in the kitchen of the house of the little girl, trying to stop the blood pouring out whilst my members of my family watched the Coronation on the small 9inch television in the living room. I wasn’t allowed to watch for fear of blood getting onto the carpet.
