Great news for Mums-to-be as Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust opens its new Wi******er Birth Centre at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.

The centre provides midwife-led care for pregnant women who do not require medical care in labour and although it is accessed via its own entrance, it is in close proximity to the Obstetric Unit within Florence Portal House - the hospital’s dedicated maternity wing. This means that although urgent obstetric or neonatal care is rarely required, it can be accessed quickly if needed.

The centre offers a calm and less clinical environment, with a birthing pool, ambient lighting, lots space for moving around, and various birthing aids available to help women adopt different positions during labour.

Where does a football legend go for dinner when he's in the city? Gary Lineker headed to Kyoto Kitchen Wi******er during a stint filming in Wi******er for a new TV series.

Not only did Gary tuck in to the restaurant's great Japanese food, but he wowed everyone with his Japanese speaking skills while chatting with Chef Shintaro Ito. Gary was the first British player to join the Japanese J-League club Nagoya Grampus during their 1993 and 1994 seasons.

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is celebrating the official opening of its brand new Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre, a state-of-the-art facility located at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.

The purpose-built unit will improve elective surgery access for thousands of patients across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, delivering orthopaedic operations such as hip and knee replacements.

Crucially, it will enable more orthopaedic patients to be seen and reduce waiting lists, with consultants from both Hampshire Hospitals and University Hospital Southampton (UHS) operating at the facility. With 16 single patient rooms, two orthopaedic theatres, and multiple four-bedded patient bays, the facility will be used exclusively for this planned care.

Alex Whitfield, Chief Executive of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We are incredibly proud to open our new Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre and begin welcoming patients for their treatment. Facilities like this are so important for our patients and communities, helping us deliver more timely care for those waiting for orthopaedic procedures and offering an even better experience for our patients and staff."

Char Teas on High Street is just a short walk from where Jane Austen spent her final days on College Street.

It's a lovely independent shop which stocks over 150 teas from across the world including the teas that Jane would have enjoyed. During her lifetime, all tea in Britain came from China. Smoky Lapsang Souchong, rich Bohea, and delicate Yunnan were particularly favoured.

To mark the 250th anniversary of her birth year, Char is offering three special blends inspired by her life and stories. Shop for Regency Breakfast, Long Walks at Longbourn, and Making Matches - each designed to capture a taste of Jane's era.

Current and past students, staff, parents and volunteers came together to celebrate 25 years of Greenpower at St Swithun's School.

The event focused on engineering creativity, teamwork and innovation inspired by the Greenpower project. Greenpower is championed by The Greenpower Education Trust and inspires young people to excel in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

Headmistress Jane Gandee said: “As a girls-only school, Greenpower has been especially powerful in breaking down gender stereotypes. Engineering and motorsport are still too often seen as male-dominated fields, but our pupils show year-after-year that talent, creativity and determination are not defined by gender.”
