Poole Hospital NHS Trust

Poole Hospital NHS Trust was a National Health Service (NHS) organization providing acute hospital services to the population of Poole, East Dorset, and Purbeck. The trust operated Poole Hospital, which served as the designated major trauma center for East Dorset and housed the Dorset Cancer Centre, a specialist provider of oncology services. In addition to emergency care, the trust provided a wide range of elective medical and surgical services, maternity care, and pediatric services. On October 1, 2020, the trust formally merged with The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This merger created University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust, which now oversees the integrated healthcare services for the region.
