I am reminded of a the film where The Beatles all arrive home, enter separate front doors, and end up in the same combined house behind. At Abingdon Surgery on Stert Street, both these doors have an arrow pointing further up the street.
The entrance to the surgery is now where Thomas & Co used to be – before they moved to Lombard Street.
The Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust has been trying something new at Abingdon Hospital. They have set up a pilot unit near ward 2 which if successful will be rolled out across the county later in the year.
The aim is to treat patients at or near home so they don’t loose their independence, and to reduce prolonged and expensive hospital admissions to the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital. The assessment unit operating from Abingdon Hospital allows specialist diagnosis in urgent cases to see whether care can continue from home, or from the community hospital, or the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital.

Against Breast Cancer, an Abingdon based charity, are funding research into a cure for breast cancer and created a great spectacle of pink in town today.
There were activities on the Market Place.
And a lot of shops had taken part by dressing their window in pink.
Some even dressed in pink as well.
