Using what3words:Northumbria Police and Northumberland Fire and Rescue are now using what3words. This means if you get into an accident and are having trouble describing where you are (if you’re out walking, for example), you can use the app to tell them your exact location.what3words has labelled every 3m x 3m square in the world with an address made of three random words from the dictionary. For example, the 3 word address of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square is ///this.fantastic.notesAll you need to do is download the free what3words app. You’ll be able to see and share the 3-word address of your current location and also to find out the 3-word address of your home (by typing in your address and selecting the square containing your front door).If you’re renting your property on Airbnb or any other accommodation sites, you can also use it to make sure guests don’t get lost by just sending them the 3-word address of the front door/property entrance (especially if your postcode goes to the wrong place!).Visit what3words.com or download the app to find out more.

Healthwatch Northumberland
Healthwatch Northumberland is the independent champion for people in Northumberland who use health and social care services. As a statutory function (there’s a Healthwatch in each council area of England), we listen to your experiences of GPs, hospitals, dentists, mental health services, care homes and home care - any care service you may have used - and influence change and improvements in these services. We also offer a signposting service where we can help find you a new dental practice or GP for example, help you make complaints, register a concern or give praise, and we can put you in touch with local support groups and services. Our website has a range of health advice and information, the latest on local health issues and lists local events and ways of getting your voice heard by care providers and commissioners. Visit our website: www.healthwatchnorthumberland.co.uk or call: 03332 408468.
