Work to bring healthcare closer to people’s homes will come under the spotlight when Dorset HealthCare hosts its Annual Members’ Meeting (AMM) next month.
The NHS Trust, which provides community-based services covering physical and mental health across Dorset, is staging the event on the afternoon of 24 September at Weymouth College – and anyone living or working in the county is invited to attend.
In line with the priorities of the recently-published NHS 10-Year Plan, the meeting will highlight work planned, and already underway throughout the county, to shift care far as possible into the community and nearer people’s homes – and how that will benefit patients.
Chief Executive Matthew Bryant will also reflect on developments at the Trust over the past year and look ahead to plans for 2026, and there will be a report from the organisation’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 ask questions about Trust services and future plans.
Anyone can attend the free event, which takes place at Weymouth College in Cranford Avenue (DT4 7LQ) from 5-7pm, but places are limited.
