Our Hospitals

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust is based on the south coast and serves a population of over 800,000 people across Dorset including Bournemouth, Poole and Purbeck as well as the New Forest, and South Wiltshire. Our trust is comprised of three hospitals; the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, Poole Hospital and Christchurch Hospital and collectively employs more than 9,000 members of staff.

We work together with NHS staff to enable them to provide the best possible care for every patient and every condition that is treated at our hospitals. Make a donation today and with your help, we can fund projects which support patients and their families at what can be a very emotional and daunting time, often during long or regular stays in hospital.

Over the coming years, many exciting developments will be taking place throughout our hospitals – head over to www.uhd.nhs.uk to find out more.
