NHS trust plans repeat kidney patient day as police issue missing-person appeal
Two public announcements — a planned repeat of a Gloucestershire renal information day and a Somerset missing-teenager appeal — show local NHS and police bodies using press notices to reach residents.
Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has announced a Renal Information Day on 19 March 2026, in partnership with the Gloucestershire Kidney Patients' Association [1].
The trust held the event previously on 26 September 2024, also in partnership with the Gloucestershire Kidney Patient Association [2]. The two notices mean the trust has staged the information day at least twice across 2024 and 2026 [1][2].
Separately, the Somerset County Gazette reported that police are appealing for information about a 15-year-old girl last seen at 11:30pm on 13 August at a Tesco supermarket in Taunton [3].
Together, the notices show an NHS trust and the police using public announcements to flag a health event and a missing-person inquiry [1][2][3].
