Hello, welcome to South Today. where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up: Stopping people with mental health problems ending | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We have exclusive access to the teams who try to get | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Also: The growing number of apprentices in the NHS, | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
and what it could mean for you as a patient. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
And how a flower pot at Blenheim Palace turned out to be | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
BBC South has been given exclusive access to some of the teams trying | :00:23. | :00:37. | |
to stop people with mental health problems from being | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Across the South, the number ending up in police cells is down by more | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
But there's been an increase in those being taken to casualty | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
and mental health units - up by more than 800 | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Peter Cooke reports. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Side-by-side on the front line - Reading's street triage team links | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
up a mental health worker and police officer who attend emergency | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The team advise those in need about finding suitable care, | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
and help them avoid being taken into custody or hospital. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
This man called 999 saying he was depressed | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
But the thing is, when it goes away, it's still here with me, you know, | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
Nobody knows what I'm going through, basically. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
The scheme will soon be operating seven days a week. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
It means that we can do some reviewing in advance | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
We get some instant updates on the background of people, | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
and it just gives us a sporting chance. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
I am hoping that this is something that is going to be seen | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
as a beneficial service across the whole country, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
because it will definitely make a big difference, | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
as it has made a difference in this area. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
A team of mental health experts are on-hand | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
at the Royal Berkshire Hospital to support them. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Everyone is now conscious that we need to work as a team. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Most people's problems cannot be solved by a single service, | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
The team operate 24 hours a day to deal with the ever-increasing | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
The cost of burying a dead child in Oxford has been abolished | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
Parents used to be charged ?340 if they lost a child | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
A small number of councils across the country, | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
including South Oxfordshire, had already dropped the fees. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
An investigation's started into a major oil spill | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
The spill has affected almost two miles of the river. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Booms have been put in the water near Grazeley to stop | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
The number of apprentices at the John Radcliffe Hospital | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
in Oxford has doubled in the past year. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
The Health Trust says it's now taking on even more, | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
to improve patient care and tackle the long-term problem of recruiting | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
17-year-old Olivia has been working at the John Radcliffe Hospital | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
She is one of almost 30 apprentices here, | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
who have taken the decision to learn while they earn. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
At the beginning it was quite scary because, like, | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Everyone's quite a lot older as well, and not a lot of people | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
So, but as they've kind of got to know what I can do, you just, | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
like, start to feel part of the team. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Clinical apprentice numbers here have doubled in the last year, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
and Oxford University Hospitals Trust plans to appoint | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
At the moment, we've got about 13 clinical apprentices and 13 business | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
And a couple of engineering apprentices. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
But actually we've had a lot more than that actually move | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
In yesterday's Budget, the Chancellor Philip Hammond | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
pledged an extra ?425 million to the NHS in England | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
Money for plans to improve local services. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
But critics say this is just a cloak to disguise forthcoming cuts. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
So, as people continue to fight to for their NHS, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
is the using cheaper apprentices a quick fix to a bigger problem, | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
I do actually want to be a nurse when I'm older. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
So I'm going to go down and keep pursuing it. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
So I'm not just going to leave it and just go and do something else. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Laura Roberts, who's the Managing Director | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
of Health Education England - an independent group which sets out | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
to improve the quality of healthcare through better training. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
She told me who's signing up to be an apprentice in the NHS. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
It is a huge variety of people who are signing up at the moment. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
We have school leavers, as you say - people particularly | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
We have apprentices in their 30s, 40s and 50s. | :05:00. | :05:11. | |
We also, within the NHS, have about, over 70% | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
It's not just about school leavers, it's not just about kind | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
of traditional manual work, and it isn't just for boys. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
What about the view that there is a danger of using apprentices | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
to plug staff shortages, even though they're | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
inexperienced and they're essentially cheap labour? | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Oh, I think that has changed quite considerably, really. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
The NHS is really keen to almost set the benchmark | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
We produced over 19,000 apprenticeship starts last year, | :05:41. | :05:52. | |
and over 90% of those people carried on working in the NHS at the end | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
of their apprenticeship, which I think is evidence | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
that they both received good quality training and there was a real job | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
From a patient's perspective, in terms of clinical apprentices, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
how much responsibility are they given in terms | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
Oh, they will be very strictly supervised, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
for those apprentices that work in direct patient care. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
So they would be ones who say are working | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
in rehabilitation or on the wards, and there will always be registered | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
But apprentices are about way more than just the direct patient care. | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
We have them in all fields - in admin, in finance, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
We have them in gardening, plumbing, electricians. | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
A marble flower pot used in the grounds of Blenheim Palace | :06:46. | :06:57. | |
has turned out to be a Roman stone coffin, dating back | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
The container was discovered by chance when an antiques expert | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
visited the stately home in west Oxfordshire. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
Could this be the most expensive flower pot in the country? | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
For many years, it was tucked away in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
But an expert spotted its historic significance. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
It's always a lovely surprise to find something like that. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
And in a place this size, we have so many beautiful artefacts, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
and it's always surprising to find something you didn't know was | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Something you've seen every day that you didn't realise what it was. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
It is one of the many treasures of Blenheim Palace. | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
It was brought here in the early 1800s. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
You know, why would we want to part with it? | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
Visitors to Blenheim can see the sacrophogas, but it's not kept | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
It's inside, given the respect it deserves. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
A Harry Potter-inspired sports tournament is taking place | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
this weekend, involving a team from Oxford. | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Quidditch is one of the fastest growing | :08:14. | :08:14. | |
In the books, it takes place in the air. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Broomsticks are still involved, even though | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
From the pages of Harry Potter to the fields | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
of Oxfords University Parks, Quidditch is fast becoming the most | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
progressive competitive sport around the world. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
So, it was made about 11 or 12 years ago now in America. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
But it was some people who had read the books and went, | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
So they made it, and then obviously being on the ground you have | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
to change some rules, but there are things that | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
It's both genders playing it, there are the same number | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
of people on the pitch, the same sort of aims. | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
Each team consists of seven players - a keeper, three chasers, | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
And I like it because it involves less running than a chaser. | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
I'm a chaser, and I play with the quaffle, and my role | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
is to throw the quaffle into the hoop. | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
We come out 18 minutes into the game, and the job for us | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
The snitch is worth 30 points, and when we catch | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
This weekend will see the annual Quidditch Cup, | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
with over 30 teams from around the UK taking part. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
The team from Oxford University Quidditch Club, | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
the Oxford Quidlings, will be battling with clubs | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
from Reading and Southampton for the top prize. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Sarah Farmer has the weather forecast for tonight | :09:36. | :09:48. | |
During the first part of tonight there may be a few clear spells, | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
which will allow temperatures to fall away in the usual cold | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
But during the second part of the night we will see increasing | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
cloud, allowing temperatures to rise to around six or seven Celsius. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
So, these are temperatures by dawn tomorrow. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
There will be a dry start to the day tomorrow. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Cloud will thicken even further, and we may have the odd spot | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
of light rain or drizzle here and there. | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
One or two brighter spells, but also the risk of mist and fog | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
patches developing during the course of the day, particularly | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
Temperatures tomorrow will reach a high of 10-12dC. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
Tomorrow night, there will be one or two clear spells. | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
But during the course of Saturday, there will be a good deal of cloud. | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
It should stay mainly dry during daylight hours. | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
There will be some brightness here and there, particularly | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
during the afternoon on Saturday, and we will see the cloud break up, | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
although the winds once again will be fairly light. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
And in general, Saturday is quite a cloudy day, | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
although it should, as I said, be mainly dry during daylight hours. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
And through Sunday, well, that is where we are likely | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Mainly light and patchy, the odd moderate burst | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
Still a lot of uncertainty about the rain band | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
day. On Sunday, cloudier, maybe spots of rain. | :10:56. | :11:10. | |
Good evening, in the spring sunshine we saw temperatures as high as 17.5 | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
Celsius. Not as warm or Sonning on Friday. Still a lot of dry, settled | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
weather in the forecast for the next few days. This was the sunset | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
captured by one of our Weather Watchers. Clear skies there. We have | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
had increasing amounts of cloud moving in from the West. Through the | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
remainder of tonight we will continue to see that cloud across | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
the south-west of England, the Channel Isles, weaving in across | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Wales, Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Bringing with it some | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
outbreaks of drizzly rain, particularly around the coast and | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
the hills. Further east, clear skies and the coldest temperatures. We are | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
likely to see frost across eastern parts of Scotland by Friday morning. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
The west of Scotland will see the cloud moving in, bringing spots of | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
light, drizzly rain. A similar picture for Northern Ireland. Fairly | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
cloudy and | :12:00. | :12:00. |
