You will find adequate parking in the town centre. In addition to the main multi-storey car park on the Ridgeway, there are three additional, smaller car parks with  between 50 and 100 spaces each. These are located at Mount view Drive, High Street East and West Street.

Payment

All parking in the centre of Redwood is cashless. You can pay by credit/debit card, mobile phone, or via the ParkGo app in some car parks (see below). You are advised to download the app and enter your payment details before parking.

Our West Street and High Street East car parks are ‘pay and display’. A valid ticket must be clearly visible on your car. If you wish to extend the duration of your stay, you will need to return to your vehicle and purchase a new ticket.

However, if you park in the Ridgeway or Mount view Drive car parks, you don’t need to display a ticket. You will be asked for your car registration number before you pay at the machine or via the app. Using the app makes it easier to extend your stay as there is no need to return to your car.

General

All drivers using the public car parks of Redwood do so at their own risk. The Council can accept no liability for loss or damage to vehicles parked in our car parks.

All vehicles must be parked in the marked bays. Failure to do so will result in penalty charges. Vehicles parked in a way that blocks other drivers may be towed.

Vehicles may not be parked overnight. All our car parks operate from 5am to 12 midnight.

No caravans or camper vans are allowed in any of our car parks due to space restrictions. Details of alternative parking outside the city centre are available on our website.

Special bays

All our car parks have designated parking for disabled badge holders. These are located nearest to the entrance and provide extra space for wheelchair users to access their vehicles. It is an offence to park in these bays if you are not in possession of a valid blue badge.

 

Parking for coaches is available at our West Street car park on a first-come first-served basis.

Parent and child bays can be found in the multi-storey car park and are for use only by those accompanied by a child under the age of five.

Penalty charges

A penalty charge of £60 will be issued to all vehicles exceeding the payment validity period, and to all vehicles not displaying a valid ticket. This must be settled within 14 days or the amount payable rises to £100.

IELTS READING- Helping with Health S35GT5

IELTS READING Helping with Health Reading Practice Test has 10 Questions belongs to the Health & Well-being Career subject..

📖Attempt Free Reading Test..

A Having medical treatment and going to hospital can be bewildering, even rightening. Here we review some of the ways administrators, medics and adult patients can make the experience both more comfortable and more effective.

All the good work health professionals put into treatments can be undone if their patients don’t understand instructions and procedures. It is estimated that up to half of US adults have trouble interpreting medical information Poor medical understanding has been described as a hidden epidernic, meaning conditions remain untreated or get worse. The elderly (those over 75), or those with poor levels of general literacy, are most likely to be unable to understand medical diagnoses and advice, drug dosages and regimes, how to operate medical equipment, or implement healthier lifestyles.

B Simplification is the key. This can be achieved by decreasing the complexity of healthcare systems and using clear, unambiguous language in official forms and letters. Medics need to explain conditions and procedures in layman’s terms and utilize visual aids whenever possible. Helping patients recognize signs or symptoms, such as those of an impending heart attack, may be vital in keeping them alive. Asking patients to repeat or explain symptoms, actions or medication routines in their own words is a way to check understanding. Involving patients’ family members in their treatment can also be of great help.

C Making sure a patient knows and understands what’s going to happen to them is important in reducing anxiety. Being faced with a needle is a good example. In a survey, over three-quarters of patients said they preferred being given a warning than none at all. The exception were elderly patients who preferred to be distracted by conversation before being jabbed. A fear of needles in a medical setting, Trypanophobia, affects at least ten per cent of patients and can lead to panic attacks or fainting due to a rapid fall in blood pressure. Medics can help by giving patients breathing exercises to help them relax or muscle tensioning routines to increase blood pressure.

Complex surgical procedures need more explanation and more empathy. Patients may not want to know the gory details about what will happen to their bodies while under an aesthetic but will want to know the reasons and, most importantly, the benefits of surgery. The aftereffects and follow-up procedures also need to be carefully explained. Under the umbrella term of ‘therapeutic communication’, this includes, most importantly, medics being silent and listening compassionately to patients, demonstrating acceptance of their concerns, and allowing patients to lead conversations by asking open-ended questions.

E For those facing procedures on their own, many hospitals now provide Volunteer chaperones. The presence of a sympathetic companion can do a lot to alleviate anxiety. Most hospitals now also have non-denominational religious staff members who can provide spiritual support, which has been shown to be related to better health outcomes. For sensitive procedures, medical centers can offer a professional chaperone. In these cases, the chaperone is a medically trained individual who can assist patients and make sure sensitive exams and procedures are done in a safe, comfortable, and professional way. These professionals can help protect patient dignity and also prevent any misunderstanding between a patient and their clinician.

F A recent report by Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) acknowledged that “language barriers in the health care setting can lead to problems such as delay or denial of services, issues with medication management, and under utilization of preventive services’. The latest UK census showed that eight per cent of the population’s main language was not English and, of these, almost three-quarters of a million could not speak English well, while approximately 140,000 could not speak it at all. In the States, sixty-six million people, or over a fifth of its population, speak a language other than English at home. The need for translated documents and hospital interpreters is clear. The NHS offers its information in at least eleven different languages, including on its ‘111’ telephone helplines. It also has registered interpreters available for one-hundred-and-twenty different languages.

G For patients to get the most out of their visit to a healthcare worker, it’s best that they go prepared. Time is valuable, so keeping to the point is important. With symptoms, such as a pain, patients must come prepared with specific descriptions. There are four things to mention: where the pain is, its frequency (for example, every morning or after meals), its duration (how long seconds or hours), and how it feels (sharp like a knife or dull, like a mild toothache). It’s important that the patient is honest in consultations, admitting to lifestyle choices that may cause them embarrassment, remembering that medical professionals are not judge mental. Lastly, patients should make sure they understand instructions and advice, and shouldn’t be reticent in asking questions or asking for things to be repeated.

Everybody wins when the barriers to efficient and effective medical treatment are broken down. It’s estimated that diagnostic errors and incorrect medication contribute to the death or disability of up to 160,000 patients in the US every year. Forging strong, understanding, and trusting bonds between patients and medical professionals will help both the health of individuals and the long-term health of nations.

IELTS READING- When Things Go Wrong at Work: The Disciplinary Procedure S35GT4

IELTS READING When Things Go Wrong at Work: The Disciplinary Procedure Reading Practice Test has 10 Questions belongs to the Workplace Policies & Employee Rights subject..

📖Attempt Free Reading Test..

When things go wrong at work and employers need to discipline or even dismiss an employee, most countries, including the UK, have statutory procedures that must be adhered to. Failure to follow these could result in an employer being taken to court by an employee.

In cases where the employee’s behaviour or conduct is called into question, employers should ensure that they follow the processes outlined below. Similar processes should be followed when an employee’s capacity to execute tasks may be lacking, or when specific roles are no longer viable/necessary, and the employee is facing redundancy.

The first thing for management to do is to formally write to the employee, setting out the alleged misconduct and presenting any evidence that has been brought to the management’s attention. A meeting between management and the employee should be arranged without unreasonable delay. The meeting should be conducted at a reasonable time and place so that it is easy for the employee to attend. Sufficient time must be given for the employee to consider their response to allegations, but the onus is also on the employee to make sure they attend the meeting.

Once arguments on both sides have been considered, the employer must make a decision and ensure that this is communicated to the employee in writing. The employee has the right to appeal. If an appeal is registered, the employer should be represented, as far as is possible, by a more senior manager than the one who attended the first meeting. The appeal meeting need not take place before the disciplinary action or dismissal.

In the initial meeting and in an appeal, if one is lodged, the employee has the right to be accompanied by a person of their choosing.
