200901 | Dynamic Dunescapes Project | The Towans | Hayle Pump
Many of us know and love sand dunes as beautiful coastal landscapes, but they are also listed as one of the most threatened environments in Europe for biodiversity loss.

We now know that healthy sand dunes need to be free to move -to be dynamic. read more »

Most GP surgeries have moved to a telephone triage system, which means that people who contact them for help are called in the first instance to see if the problem can be dealt with over the phone, or using video consultation, or photos that are sent to the practice.
