Story

The Greatest Need Appeal will direct funding towards areas where it is needed most on our wards, in key clinical units and for the enhancement of the hospital environment and treatment facilities.

As DCH continues to operate under immense pressures, our patients and staff urgently need that extra support that only the Charity can provide to make care and caring that little bit more special for everyone.

Dorset County Hospital is doing everything it can to rebuild its services but there are many challenges ahead. Our staff are working hard to overcome the impact of the pandemic on our services and with your help our Charity will continue to be there to give Dorset County Hospital as much support as possible. This appeal will target extra help wherever the need is greatest, by providing state of the art equipment, funding wellbeing initiatives for our dedicated NHS staff or improving the hospital environment for the benefit of everyone who uses it.

Jo Howarth, Interim Chief Nursing Officer and Director of Infection Prevention and Control at Dorset County Hospital:

We are so grateful for the ongoing support of the community for this appeal. Your help makes such a difference to our wards and clinical teams and helps us continue to provide the best possible care when and where its needed. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. It is very much appreciated by us all.
