Planned relocation of haematology inpatient services

In the ongoing transformation efforts of University Hospitals Dorset, we are pleased to announce the relocation of the Poole inpatient haematology ward (Durlston), to Ward 7R at the Royal Bournemouth site, effective from the week commencing 29 April 2024

This strategic move is designed to centralise our haematology inpatient beds onto a single hospital site, thereby streamlining resources and fostering the development of a unified, highly skilled team.

We anticipate significant benefits for our haematology patients, including the establishment of a sustainable specialist service, aimed at ensuring the delivery of optimal treatment outcomes.

We wish to reassure you that this relocation is not expected to impact your cancer care treatment, aside from the change in the location for inpatient admissions, which will now be facilitated at the Bournemouth site from the w/c 29 April 2024

We appreciate this matter may raise some questions and hope these FAQs are helpful.
