Public invited to join city centre Holy Week journey

Church ministers of different denominations are inviting people to accompany them on a Holy Week journey around Liverpool City Centre on Saturday, 7 April 2012.  People are invited to meet at 2pm at the Quaker Meeting House (behind Primark). The journey will include seven stops around the city centre, with each stop focussing on a particular aspect of the Easter story. The walk will finish at Church Alley with bread, wine and water.  The event has been organised by the City Centre Hub of Minsters, who work together in the city centre to share faith on the streets of Liverpool.  Jean Flood, Chaplain at St John’s Market and co-ordinator of Mission in the Economy, said:- "By bringing seven stations of reflection out into the city centre, we hope that people will feel comfortable joining in. It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to church – all are welcome to enjoy the opportunity to reflect and take some time out whilst the busyness of everyday life goes on around us. We hope to draw attention to the real meaning of Easter and also to show that amidst all the economic gloom there is hope."

Easter start for new market

A NEW food and drink market is coming to Liverpool starting this week-end.  The first market, in Stanley Street, takes place on Easter, Saturday, 7 April 2012, between 9am and 3pm.  It will see some of Liverpool’s finest food companies offering their wares and will also include street entertainment and pavement cafés.  The new market will feature stalls with farmers’ produce, local cheese artisan breads, coffee roasters, the Chocolate Cellar and one of Sir Richard Branson’s favourite Liverpool entrepreneurs: Aaron Booth’s cheesecake booth

"This new venture widens the range of markets available in Liverpool. It will concentrate on high quality food and drink and really extend choice for shoppers.   It is one of the many ways we are making the Stanley Street Quarter a real hub of activity and diversity. I am sure we will be attracting many shoppers on Saturday - and they will want to come back and bring their friends."  said Paul Amann, Stanley Street Quarter Steering Group Chair.

The market will be held on the first Saturday of every month until October, except for August when Liverpool Pride takes place.

Easter Monday Treasure Hunt

ON Monday, 9 April 2012, Easter Monday, a Family Treasure Hunt will be held from 2pm to 4:30pm at Sefton Church. "All budding Miss Marples and Inspector Morses are invited to attend, magnifying glasses in hand! All who attend will be asked to solve the riddles and win a fabulous prize." they told us. So, if the kids are still driving you mad on a sugar rush, why not pop down to Sefton Church? Entry forms £2 per person. Visit the Church's website for more information...

SYNEXUS CURRENTLY SEEKING PEOPLE WITH PSORIASIS IN MERSEYSIDE TO HELP ASSESS NEW TREATMENT

SYNEXUS, the world's largest multinational company dedicated to the successful recruitment and running of clinical studies, is currently recruiting patients in Merseyside for a study which is assessing a new treatment which may help ease the symptoms of psoriasis.  Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales. The condition is not infectious and most people are affected only in small patches on their body. It affects around 2% of people in the UK. It can start at any age, but most often develops between the ages of 11 and 45. The severity of psoriasis varies greatly from person to person. For some people it is just a minor irritation, but for others it has a major impact on their quality of life.  There is currently no cure for psoriasis. However, there are various treatments that can help control the symptoms.  The study that Synexus is running is assessing a topical ointment that may help ease the symptoms of psoriasis. The study may be suitable for those who:-

Are aged over 18 years old

Have been diagnosed with psoriasis

Synexus is currently recruiting patients for this study at its Dedicated Clinical Research Centre in Merseyside. Those who would like to find out more or are interested in participating in this study should contact the following number and quote the relevant reference number:

Merseyside:- 0151 5509951 (Ref: code 6558)

There is no obligation for people to participate and if they do decide to take part, their GP will be kept fully informed of their involvement. Patients will be reimbursed for their time and all reasonable out of pocket expenses if they are accepted onto the study.  Synexus has many years experience in conducting a wide range of clinical studies. The purpose of a clinical research study is to answer important questions about a new medicine, for example: does it improve a person’s health and which dose of the medicine works best?

Each year, thousands of patients take part in clinical studies at Synexus’ Dedicated Clinical Research Centres. There are many different studies running at each of the Centres throughout the year including potential treatments for conditions such as osteoporosis, smoking cessation, high-cholesterol, insomnia, vaccines, asthma and childhood eczema.

Participating in a Synexus clinical study means patients receive increased medical attention and may benefit from medications that aren’t yet available to other sufferers of their condition, while making a positive contribution to the health of future generations.
