Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge CCGs are reviewing the simple wound care service provided across the three boroughs.

The aim is ensure that the local NHS wound care service is accessible, easy to use, and provides what patients need.

 As part of this, the CCGs are seeking the views of patients and their families and a short survey has been set up to gather feedback.

Please note that, due to the tight deadline for responses, the survey closes on Friday 8 June 2018.

Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Nile – Brookside Theatre 6-9 June

MURDER ON THE NILE

“Christie’s “whodunit” masterpieces comes to town!”

Following last year’s hugely successful production of ‘The Ghost Train’, the Brookside Theatre are proud to present a stylish and exciting new production of the Queen of Crime’s classic thriller, MURDER ON THE NILE.

On board a steamer, cruising under the scorching Egyptian sun, honeymooners Simon Mostyn and his wealthy socialite wife Kay find themselves being pursued by an old flame of the newly wedded groom. Tragedy strikes… a body is discovered and all fingers point to Simon’s ex fiancée but everything is not what it seems and holidaying cleric, Canon Pennefather is drawn into a web of intrigue and deceit as he finds himself on the trail of a ruthless murderer.

MURDER ON THE NILE is unarguably one of Agatha Christie’s most iconic thrillers, packed full of autocratic dowagers, bright young things, suspicious foreigners, exotic locations and a plot which twists and turns like the Nile itself.

‘Murder On The Nile” runs from Wed 6th to Sat 9th June 2018 at the Brookside Theatre, Romford. Tickets are available from the theatre’s website www.brooksidetheatre.com or call the box office on 01708 755775.
