Dorset residents can learn about the latest developments in local community health services when Dorset HealthCare hosts its Annual General Meeting later this month.
The NHS trust, which provides community-based services covering physical and mental health across Dorset (including Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole), is hosting its AGM on 26 September at Wareham Town Hall.
Anyone can attend the event, which this year will focus on how the Trust is tackling the financial challenges faced by all parts of the NHS and also its developing partnership with Dorset County Hospital (DCH).
Closer collaboration between the two organisations is starting to deliver benefits for patients, and there will be a presentation to illustrate one example of this, the joint service to help people recover quickly from strokes and other neurological issues.
Matthew Bryant, Joint Chief Executive of both trusts, will reflect on developments over the past year and look ahead to plans for 2025, and there will be a report from Dorset HealthCare’s Council of Governors.
A patient story video will showcase the kind of support available through Trust services, while guests will have the chance to give their views in an electronic poll and to ask questions of Board members.
The free event takes place from 5-7pm and all are welcome, but places are limited. Please register to attend the meeting.
