With autumn on its way and another energy price rise looming, you might be thinking about improvements you can make to your home so it’s more energy efficient. There’s a host of benefits – as well as saving money on energy bills, you can increase comfort levels in your home, cut your carbon footprint, and make both you and your home healthier by dealing with any mould and damp issues. But where do you start?

Green Open Homes is a wonderful opportunity to visit some of the loveliest ‘greenest’ homes in Shropshire and Telford. Learn all about them from their owners, people just like you who have taken the plunge and improved their homes. Look around and see for yourself things like:

  • Air source heat pumps
  • Solar panels with battery storage
  • Extra insulation
  • EV charging

It’s your chance to ask questions of the homeowners to find out why they made the choices they did, and what they learned in the process. The event is free and there are no salesmen. It really is the ideal opportunity to gain the confidence and understanding you need to start making energy efficiency improvements to your home.

Run by local charity Marches Energy Agency, this year’s Green Open Homes takes place across two weekends, 19th – 20th and 26th – 27th October.  

You can start planning your visits to beautiful ‘green’ homes near you by using the postcode search here: https://www.greenopenhomes.net/

Local health champion seeks experiences of using community pharmacies.

Community pharmacies are offering more services and trying to help take the pressure off GP services. These include ‘Pharmacy First’ which provides consultation services and the supply of appropriate medicines for 7 common conditions including earache, sore throat, and urinary tract infections.

Healthwatch Shropshire wants to hear from anyone who has used pharmacy services for any reason since February 2024.

Lynn Cawley, Chief Officer of Healthwatch Shropshire, said, “We would like to understand the experience of patients using pharmacies not only for the Pharmacy First service but all of the other services provided by pharmacies.”

“We would also like to hear from community pharmacy staff about their experience of providing Pharmacy First and other advanced services.”

“To share experiences people can contact us online https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/HWSpharmacyservices/ or ring our office and talk to one of the staff on 01743 237884.”

Healthwatch Shropshire is the independent health and social care champion in Shropshire. It gathers the views and experiences of patients, service users, carers, and the general public about services including hospitals, GPs, mental health services, community health services, pharmacists, opticians, residential care and children’s services.  It also has statutory powers that it can use to influence service provision by encouraging improvements.
