Advanced Care Planning
Advanced care planning (ACP) is a process which will enable you to communicate your wishes about your future medical care with those closest to you and your medical team. Some of you may be in good health and wonder why you need to do this, but as the last few months have shown us, life can be very uncertain. If you have the privilege to be able to think about, and communicate your preferences, then now is the perfect time. Visit us here to find out more.

ITREB Thought of the Day
Did you know the first ever flying machine was made by Abbas Ibn Firnas, a Muslim musician and poet? An astronomer, chemist, doctor and engineer, Ibn Firnas lived during the 9th century in Cordoba, Andalusia. Known in Latin as Armen Firman, he built the world’s first mechanical planetarium, invented processes for creating colourless glass and carving rock crystal, designed the Al-Maqata water clock and made the first corrective reading lenses. His use of Indian astronomical tables changed the course of European science. However, he is most famous for being the first man to fly – more than 1,000 years before the Wright brothers and 600 years before Leonardo Da Vinci. In 875, at the age of 70, Ibn Firnas made a glider using wood, silk and bird feathers. He climbed into it and launched off the La Arruzafa hills near Cordoba, managing a successful flight of 10 minutes. In 1976, a crater on the moon was named after him.
