Involvement Networks) to enable people to have a
say in how local health and social care is
delivered. LINks allows everyone to comment
about their health and social care services -
what is working well and what is not so good -
gives people an opportunity to monitor and check
how services are planned and run, and provide
feedback on what people have said about
services, so things can change for the better.
The west Essex locality group, covering Epping,
Harlow and Uttlesford, wants to engage with all
areas of the community. Every resident of Essex
and Southend is a member of the LINk and an
equal participant. If you are aware of gaps in

MBST - LATEST TREATMENT
OF ARTHRITIS, OSTEOPOROSIS AND SPORTS INJURIES
- Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MBST) has been in
clinical use in Europe since 1999 for the
treatment of osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and
sports injuries. This therapy is now available
in Chipping Ongar, Essex. The adult human
skeleton is made up of 206 bones and to help
these bones move smoothly and pain free, there
is a smooth, shock absorbing connective tissue
called cartilage. Cartilage stops bone rubbing
on bone enabling you to walk, run etc. When
cartilage erodes or is damaged, the bones
rubbing together and the inflammatory effects
this has can result in osteoarthritis.
Traditionally the treatment has been steroids
and pain relief as well as joint replacements.
There is now a non-surgical method called MBST.
Researchers found it possible to transfer pulsed
magnetic resonance energy into damaged cartilage
cells or bone cells thereby initiating metabolic
processes necessary for growth and repair. They
have shown that this helps the body grow
cartilage, increase bone density, accelerate the
healing of connective tissues and dramatically
reduce or eliminate pain. MBST is drug free,
painless, non-invasive and has no known side
effects. Visit
www.bone-pain.co.uk or ring
01277 366975 for a free consultation.

TREATMENT OF THREAD
VEINS BY PROFESSIONAL CLINICIANS IN BRENTWOOD,
ESSEX
- Thread veins, spider veins or broken veins are
very fine abnormal blood vessels in the skin.
They usually occur in the legs and face. We
believe thread veins are best treated by micro-sclerotherapy
and/or thermo-coagulation. Micro-sclerotherapy
involves an injection of a solution through a
very fine needle into the vein. For very fine
clusters of veins, we recommend
thermo-coagulation, where a high radio-frequency
current is sent through a needle into the vein
causing the wall to heat up and break up.
Generally, for the best results, patients need a
combination of both. Micro-sclerotherapy and
radio-frequency ablation (VeinWave) should be
carried out by a properly trained doctor or
specialist nurse. Most people have no side
effects from the treatment, however, a small
number experience a minor allergic reaction at
the injection site or discomfort and hardness
with pigmentation and rarely a small wound
results. Depending on the extent of the thread
veins, more than one session of treatment may be
needed. The treatment is carried out at the
Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital. For further
information or to book a consultation ring 01277
366975 or visit

COOPERSALE HALL SCHOOL

well. And they do very well at 11+ with many
gaining scholarships to the local selective
senior schools.
What’s new at Coopersale Hall? A new
headmistress, Kaye Lovejoy, began in January
2011, enabling a school wide review of
facilities and practices.In September there will
be a further four new classrooms opening which
will enable us to satisfy the demand for places
throughout the school. A wide variety of
extra-curricular activities take place, from
chess to yoga, clarinet to karate, as well as
providing breakfast and tea time clubs.
Coopersale Hall School is part of the Oak-Tree
Group of Schools - what does that mean?
Being part of a group of three schools means we
can arrange larger communal events such as a
camp night, orchestra or combined musical event.
Staff at the three schools get together
regularly to share best practice, the group
management team look after the business end,
thus leaving the headmistresses to focus on
educating children. The other schools in the
group are Normanhurst in North Chingford and
Oaklands in Loughton, all popular local schools
