Southport set for Spookport 2016 Photograph by Patrick Trollope.
AS British Summer Time comes to a close
and the nights get darker, Halloween approaches and Southport is about to be
transformed into Spookport, once again. Southport’s unique Halloween
Festival runs over 22 October to 28 October 2016, with the Town's
businesses and community running spooktaular events. But some also do amazing
events on Halloween Night as well! Don't miss what's going to happen
at both the Fox and Goose as well as
Leo's Bar in the Town Centre, for
example...
Though out the last week of October,
Southport Pleasureland hosts it’s annual
Happy Halloween spectacular.... The
Atkinson theatre and Arts Centre, for their annual
Kids Fest.... Plus for adults who
want to go ghost hunting there is the
Haunting at Greenacre... Other fun
includes spine tingling
Terror Tours... And that's just the
start of the events!
The Spookport
section of the event ends with a parade on Friday, 28 October 2016,
from 6.30pm. It will snake along Lord Street, with dancing and spectacular
performances and other
ghoulish goings on... This is not to be missed!
Phototherapy cabinets shine healing power of
light Photograph by Patrick Trollope.
THEY may look like sunbeds but these
are new phototherapy cabinets which heal rather than tan the skin. Southport and
Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust has installed the cutting edge equipment at its
Dermatology unit in Ormskirk. The walk in cabinets emit UVB rays which help
patients with skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. The unit, which sees
around 20,000 patients a year, underwent refurbishment over summer and the new
cabinets are already proving popular with patients. Staff nurse Lauren Penn
said:- "We are one of the 1st trusts in the UK to get these new
phototherapy cabinets. The UVB rays heal a variety of skin conditions. They
penetrate the skin and heal from the inside out. We have already seen an
improvement in skin conditions for patients who are using the new cabinets."
The amount of time patients can spend inside is strictly monitored. It can range
from 25 seconds to five minutes. Ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy uses a
wavelength of light that is invisible to human eyes. Dermatologist Dr
Aamir Memon added:- "We strive to offer the very best dermatology care to
our patients. We want to become a centre of excellence for psoriasis in the
North West. By replacing old phototherapy machines with state of the art
equipment, we have moved a step closer to this aim. Apart from psoriasis,
phototherapy is an option for patients with numerous conditions such as eczema,
acne, generalised itching, and other inflammatory conditions."
Dermatology at Ormskirk hospital also treats people who suffer from acne and
oversees minor skin surgery, allergy skin patching and photodynamic therapy. The
team also carries out skin cancer reviews.
