Dorset HealthCare provides community-based health services and mental health services for the people of Dorset (including Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole), as well as psychological therapies for the Southampton area. We serve a total population of around 800,000 people, and have more than 6,000 staff operating from around 300 different sites.

As well as supporting people in or near their own homes, either in person or virtually, we run Dorset’s 12 community hospitals. Some of these have inpatient beds, and we also provide specialist mental health inpatient units in the east and west of the county. In 2019, we were rated as “outstanding” by the Care Quality Commission.
