We have awarded a five year contract to Canon to supply us with an Océ ColorStream 6000 Chroma Continuous inkjet web press which will help us to provide clients with high quality, volume print runs at competitive market rates.

Adam Harwood, managing director of CFH Radstock, said, ‘Modern inkjet printing systems offer high quality colour printing at the same or faster speeds than the black-only toner systems, and at a lower price point than mono or colour toner systems. With colour lasers typically only able to produce 80 – 150 A4 images per minute, having a system that can produce 1700 colour images per minute at lower running costs is almost a mandatory capability for a commercial print and mail house.

‘As a major player in the transactional print and mail industry, we needed to find a solution that would allow the company to evolve alongside industry demands, while demonstrating a clear return on investment. We were impressed with the versatility, efficiency and sustainability of the Océ ColorStream 6000 Chroma and, having enjoyed a long partnership with Canon Océ, which supplies our VarioStream continuous toner and VarioPrint cut-sheet printers, we are confident we have made a strong decision.’

Using our Docmail hybrid mail service in which mailing requirements can be entered by customers via our Docmail website. The orders are printed and fulfilled on site using a variety of printing, enclosing and mail sorting equipment. We aim to produce and deliver documents in the most cost-effective, efficient and environmentally friendly way.

Features that swayed the decision in favour of the Océ inkjet included the Chromera inks that yield high quality across a wide range of media, flexibility to switch between mono and colour print on the same stock and MICR and other security-related abilities and accreditations.

On Friday 22nd March Mark Stubbings, Managing Partner of Portsdown Group Practice was presented with the CFH Docmail Flu Hero of the Year Award by Stephen Morgan MP, in recognition of the practice’s innovative approach to maximising the uptake of the flu vaccination in 2018/19. The judges commended the efforts not only to target eligible groups but also to create a programme to improve and increase winter health checks designed to keep patients well and to avoid attendance at A&E and hospital admissions.We have awarded a five year contract to Canon to supply us with an Océ ColorStream 6000 Chroma Continuous inkjet web press which will help us to provide clients with high quality, volume print runs at competitive market rates.

The CFH Docmail Flu Hero Awards Programme is a national initiative designed to support all GP practices in the UK to achieve vaccination targets and to broaden awareness of the importance of everyone taking responsibility for preventing the spread of flu during the winter.

Christina Cleworth, Group Business Manager at Portsdown Group Practice, who managed the programme, said “we started planning in April 2018 for this year’s approach, reviewing the previous year’s campaign, in order to learn from what went well and what we could improve.

“We introduced walk in / no appointment necessary clinics, saving 1,000s of unnecessary phone calls (we look after 44,000 patients). All clinicians, including GPs, agreed to vaccinate any patient who needed a flu, shingles or pneumonia jab, whether or not they had an appointment. Chairs were put outside their consulting rooms and they provided the ‘jab’ in between appointments and all our reception staff wore specially designed t-shirts promoting the immunisation campaign!“

"We also created a special template to be able to provide a health check when we were immunising the patient which allowed for the efficient collection of BMIs and blood pressure as well as validating their mobile and email addresses, online service registration, smoking status and offering cessation advice if appropriate. We were also able to give verbal reminders for outstanding long- term condition reviews, e.g. asthma, diabetes. This process optimises the value of the patient contact and progresses our objective in optimising a holistic approach to primary care."

“The whole team pulled together for the Immunisation Season Campaign and we’re delighted that despite having 3 different flu vaccines (aTIV / Quad / Child) rates are up on target achievements.”

Mark Stubbings said ‘I am delighted that the extraordinary effort put in by the team during the course of the last 12 months has been recognised in such a public way. As one of the largest GP Practices in the country, we strive to deliver the best patient care possible in an environment of incessantly increasing demand, higher patient expectation and the well-documented shortage of a GP workforce. Our innovative approach, highlighted by this award, is replicated across many areas of the practice and we are constantly exploring ways to deliver better patient care.’

Stephen Morgan, MP said: “The fresh, innovative approach adopted by Portsdown Group Practice is commendable. Their willingness to re-write the rule book by moving to a non-appointment style acts as a testament to their proactive ethos. To create a system that saves time, improves service standards and optimises a holistic approach to primary care is no mean feat. It is right that the Practice is congratulated for their services to the community and I would like to extend my thanks to the whole team for securing Portsmouth on the map as a leader in this field.”

Our 2019 Bath Half Marathon Team was made up of 17 seasoned runners and novices but all with one target in mind, raising as much money as we could to support the hugely valuable work of Dorothy House.

The day was a huge success where the team were blessed with good weather and some even managed to achieve some PBs!

We asked everyone to give whatever they could and we managed to raise a staggering £1,400! We will also be holding some additional fundraisers throughout the year to add to this total and to ensure that everyone can take part in our campaign.
