Hospital youth club set to launch on Isle of Man
A new hospital youth club aimed at providing a "safe space" for young people with health conditions on the Isle of Man is set to launch next month. The Hospital Youth Service, which will be run by Manx Care and the Bridge the Gap charity, will hold weekly sessions on Wednesdays from 17:00-19:00 GMT at the Roundhouse in Braddan. Co-ordinator Ben Melling said: "A lot of young people with health conditions feel isolated and it is important there is a safe space." The service is looking for volunteers to help run the sessions, aimed at those aged 12-16, who will encourage young people to play games, take part in arts and crafts and socialise.
The youth club aims to help the young people relax, make friends and have "some enrichment", Mr Melling added.It marks a "great opportunity" to volunteer for anyone who enjoys activities and "wants to give something back to the young people in the community", he added.

Hundreds of Isle of Man patients affected by NHS data error
More than 430 patients on the Isle of Man have been subject to a data error resulting in their home addresses being changed to UK ones, Manx Care has said. The island's healthcare provider said NHS England had incorrectly recorded temporary UK residences as permanent addresses for island residents who were receiving treatment there. A spokeswoman said that so far about 446 patients had been affected, with further cases likely to be confirmed as "awareness increases".She said Manx Care was "actively collaborating" with UK healthcare bodies and integrated care boards to "improve how address changes are managed, particularly for patients moving between the Isle of Man and the UK". NHS systems on the Isle of Man and in the UK work independently, but data is shared when address changes are made. The Manx Care spokeswoman said: "In some cases the UK system assumed a permanent relocation rather than a temporary visit."This led to "unintended updates to patient records", she added. Missed appointments Manx Care said it was contacting GP practices to verify permanent addresses to all of those affected by the error and had reiterated "the importance of not replacing records" to UK health the health body has urged anyone who has been treated in the UK and expected correspondence from Manx Care, to get in touch with their GP practice to "review your records".Potential impacts on care could mean people miss or have delayed invitations for routine screenings or appointments at Noble's Hospital. Manx Care said that despite the error, patients would not lose their places at their Manx GP healthcare body apologised for "any confusion or disruption" and said people's "health and peace of mind [were] top priorities".

Meet the Macclesfield grandad sharing his love of the outdoors online
Here in the North West we are fortunate to have incredible countryside, bustling cities, award-winning beaches and not forgetting incredibly friendly year I wanted to reflect on the pride we have of our wonderful region and the people that make it such a fantastic place to I came up with BBC North West Tonight's 25 in 25, a series showcasing some of the best people and places in the north-west of week I met up with Roger Hordley - an 81-year-old walking, photo-taking grandad whose photographs have earned him a following online. Roger's daughter Daniele emailed me about her dad, who enjoys nothing more than walking in and around Macclesfield Forest.I live in Marple. Macclesfield is, as we always say, "down the road" and yet somewhere I am ashamed to say I have never really a morning spent admiring the views I know it is a place I will be returning to - especially with my girls who would love the chance to build a den in the forest, like the one me and Roger stumbled not everyone has that opportunity and that's one of the reasons why Roger takes photos for his blog. "I take maybe 30 - 50 photos during a walk, I'll whittle them down to 15 or 20, put them into a montage and share them."The family can see them and, apparently, I have followers who like them."At the age of 81, some might think it's a time to sit back and relax but not Roger."Why do I walk? To keep fit? No. To keep the joints moving. I'm 81 and it keeps my limbs loose."Walking like this is for my knees, the future me is happy." Roger has walked five miles a day, at least five times a week for the past 10 years, so what motivates him?"Look at it. It's absolutely glorious."The walks are good, the exercise is good. It's just lovely. Who would not want to walk in a place like this?"Throughout our walk, Roger uses an app on his phone which tells him the name of the flower or bug he has stumbled across cotton grass, which looked like cotton wool balls on top of in the cotton a bug hid, Roger's app established it was a slow bug."I see something new every time I come on this walk, no two walks are the same." His advice to those that perhaps haven't got the motivation he shares?"The only thing I would say is don't think of the walking, think about what you're seeing."I wouldn't rather be sat inside watching the telly, I'd rather be here, watching this view."
