And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Sarah Teale.

Inspectors have found that services at all of Leicester's three

The health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission visited

the sites last year and found that safety, effectiveness and leadership

The ratings haven't risen since the last inspection.

The news that University hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust requires

The previous inspection in April 2014 reached the

I'm actually fairly pleased with some aspects of the

report, I think it is very fair and accurate.

I'm very pleased for our staff who have been judged to be

caring across the board across the three sites.

Your review is still the same as in April 2014?

Yes, it is, but the chief inspector goes out

of his way in this statement to say that although we are in the same

The Care Quality Commission commission team inspected it core

services across three hospitals, LRI the Glenfield and the Journal put up

they are rated as good. The effectiveness of the congenital

heart services rated as outstanding. It can

be frustrating but this is an extremely large organisation

and 14,000 people work here. It is something of an

oil tanker with very complex patients and ever-increasing

numbers of patients coming to us so it is not the stuff

of overnight miracles. It is the stuff of steady effort

and commitment which I think The CQC report says that

although the trust is at the same level it was in 2014,

improvements have been made and staff have been rated as caring

across all three sites. Next the new jobs designed to take

pressure off GP's and help patients 48 clinical pharmacists have been

working at surgeries Now NHS England is looking

to take on a lot more. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons

is at St Ann's in Nottingham this Good afternoon. This is a Wellspring

surgery and stands and a D I met a patient who came along for a

checkup. She is on medication and not only for chronic diabetes but

also for asthma. She was getting tips today on using an inhaler. The

beauty is that the pharmacist can spend more time than the GP might

have available.... It takes pressure off the doctors

which leaves them free to see people What difference are you making to

patients and doctors? Patient feedback is tremendous. They are

enjoying the consultations, learning more about her medications and the

doctors are saving a lot more time for them as well. You are saying

that pharmacists have a bit of an image problem, some people see them

as a glorified shopkeepers? The dispensing side of pharmacy

profession, the training is only about three to six months from the.

Mata we can spend a lot more time with patients and we have done

postgraduate training on top of the degree and we are given 20 minutes

appointments which is fantastic twice the length of another the GP

appointment. Cross thank you. A barber from Derby has appeared

in court charged with terror offences after being arrested

on the Breakfast show from hospital this morning,

he thanked listeners for their support -

and said being on BBC Radio Derby Not many people get to do

a job that they love. The people that I meet,

the people that I continue to meet, There are people who send presents

to hospital to say, get well soon, let's get you back on the radio,

let's get you sorted. All you can do is let

people know the truth of what is going on,

where you are, what you are doing, More than ?6.5 million is to be

Government investment announced by the Transport

training courses for cyclists Now a story of survival

against the odds. Tim Robinson from Hilton

in Derbyshire says he's lucky to be alive after crawling for two hours

across a dark, isolated beach He'd slipped while walking

on holiday in Dorset, and says his army survival training

helped save him. He was only rescued

after he messaged SOS I have gone over the mudslide

and round the headland was some rock pools and that is where

I had my accident. Back in Derbyshire visiting mum

after 11 days in hospital and an ordeal which he says

changed his life. Tim Robinson had been alone

searching for fossils while on a coastal break

with his wife when he slipped I stepped from one large rock

to another and the second large rock had a bit of slimy seaweed

on and my foot slipped and I went opposite way and I heard this crack

and my leg had snapped. If I had stayed put under the cliffs

with falling debris, some of them are car-sized

when the shear off. If I had stayed at the water line

I would have been submerged So I needed to move

one way or the other. Totally isolated,

it was then that Tim, a member of the Territorial Army

for 26 years, says his He crawled for a mile and a half

over rocks and undergrowth, the only other thing with him

a tiny metal torch. I know the Morse code letters -

dot dot dot, dash dash Being a small, single AAA battery

torch, I wasn't confident that could work over a mile and a quarter

so what I decided to do was crawl for five minutes and signal again

and crawl for five minutes and the third time I did my signal

and I saw some lights flashing back. She raised the alarm and Tim

was rushed to hospital Tim needed surgery and faces

another operation. He hopes to eventually get back

to the Territorial Army but in his words, he'll be

a changed man. I've done two tours in Afghanistan

and one in Iraq and I have been in jeopardy there but you realise

sometimes it is when you least expect it, all of a sudden

your life is at risk. Time for the weather,

here's Charlie. It is freezing cold out there today,

one of the coldest It is freezing cold out there today,

one of the coldest days of winter so far. With the cloud is thick enough

it could fall as drizzle and it could fall as some sleet.

Temperatures are around freezing but once you factor in the wind-chill

that is enough of a breeze to take a bite out of temperatures soared well

it makes a freezing it is really -4 -5 in some areas. Into the early

hours of Friday morning and a generally see a mate of ahead with

temperatures falling down to perhaps -1 or minus two. Friday what's of

cloud around but not as cold as today and Chile none the less. Drive

through the morning and rain through the evening. Temperatures around

three or 4 degrees. A slightly milder weekend but quite unsettled.
