DCH Radiographers Sarah, Molly and Julia are taking on the Jurassic Coast Challenge to raise money for our new Emergency and Critical Care department.

We aim to take on this 100k challenge in under 30 continuous hours without falling off the cliff in the dark! Wish us luck by sponsoring us!

There is currently insufficient Emergency Department and Critical Care Unit capacity at Dorset County Hospital to meet both current and future demand.

The Emergency Department was built to accommodate 22,000 attendances; in 2021/22 attendances were 50,119.

To meet patient demand, Dorset County Hospital plans to build a new Emergency Department and Critical Care Unit which will significantly improve the hospital’s capacity and transform the experience of Emergency and Critical Care patients and their families.

Dorset County Hospital Charity has commenced a £2.5M Capital Appeal, to enhance patient care and staff welfare in the new Emergency Department and Critical Care Unit.

The Appeal is raising funds for enhanced facilities and additional medical equipment to make patient care even better. It will also fund artistically designed elements in both new units to help create a sympathetic and healing environment for the benefit of all.
