Fancy seeing several countries in one trip? It's a lovely idea in theory, but organising it yourself can turn into a logistical headache. You're juggling flights, trains, hotel bookings, transfers, and trying to remember whether check-in in this city is at 2pm or 3pm. It adds up.
A cruise sidesteps a lot of that. Rather than swapping hotels every few days, you keep the same cabin for the whole voyage while the ship does the moving for you. If you're weighing up your options, it's worth comparing routes and looking at things like Ambassador Cruise Line offers , checking departure...
A new ADHD toolkit from the University of Exeter is the first of its kind designed specifically to be used in UK primary schools.
On average, at least one child in every classroom will have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with many more who struggle to pay attention, resist impulses to do things like jump out their seat or shout out, or are overly active. School is a particular challenge for children with ADHD, who are at risk of exclusion, mental health problems, and poor attendance.
Existing interventions have shown some effectiveness but are often...
NHS Devon faced the most-pressured waiting lists for eye-health treatment in England last year, according to new findings.
Eye-health specialist Newmedica’s research investigated ophthalmology waiting list pressures across England’s 42 Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) by comparing additional patient referrals to completed patient pathways.
The findings showed that there were more than 66,564 referrals to NHS Devon last year, but only 47,652 treatments were completed across the 12 months – suggesting that almost 19,000 people were added to its waiting list.
Residents of Culverland Road can now access a community defibrillator, after Exeter Homes Trust received funding from Devon County Council to install the lifesaving device at its property on the Exeter street.
The installation of the defibrillator came after a request from Michaela Bennett, daughter of resident, Michael Bennett who died at the site in 2025, and who wanted to provide a legacy for her father and hope to others should the unthinkable occur.
Following the request, Exeter Homes Trust General Manager, Ethan Watts, approached the County Councillor for St...
There's something genuinely exciting about the idea of a cruise. Waking up somewhere new each morning, wandering around a different city by lunchtime, then watching the sunset from the deck as you sail off to the next place, it's a different way of travelling altogether. But if you've never set foot on a cruise ship before, it's completely normal to have questions about how it all actually works.
Whether you're seriously considering booking your first sailing or just daydreaming about it, browsing last minute cruise deals can be a nice way to get a feel for what's out there....
When businesses think about improving the workplace, attention often goes straight to the big stuff. New equipment, major refurbishments and expensive technology upgrades tend to grab the headlines. Yet some of the most effective changes are far less dramatic. Small infrastructure improvements can make everyday work safer, smoother and more efficient without requiring a complete overhaul.
The trick is paying attention to the little obstacles employees deal with every day. A minor inconvenience that happens once might not seem important, but when it is repeated hundreds of times...
Ask anyone replacing the windows in an older Exeter home what matters most and, until fairly recently, the answer would probably have been appearance. Does it suit the house? Does it look right from the street? Those questions still matter, but they are no longer the whole story. Across Exeter, Devon and older towns throughout the UK, homeowners are thinking harder about ventilation, colour, security, maintenance and long-term quality before signing off on new windows.
Why window choices are becoming more considered
Part of the change comes down to how we live in our homes....
