Welcome to the Hepatology Department at University Hospitals Dorset

We care for adults with liver disease.

Our team will help you if you have a liver problem. We will find out what is causing it. We will explain your condition. We will work with you to plan your care.

Our team includes doctors, nurses and other health professionals. We work together to give you the care and support you need.

You may see us:

• in hospital

• at an outpatient appointment

• in the community.

Our service is based at Royal Bournemouth Hospital and Poole Hospital.

We also work with the Alcohol Care Team and the Homeless Care Team. This helps us support people who need extra help.

Our standards

Our liver service is approved by IQILS (Improving Quality in Liver Services). IQILS checks that liver services meet national standards. We have achieved IQILS Level 1 and are now working towards Level 2, the highest level of accreditation within the IQILS framework.

We review our service to make sure it is safe and gives people the care they need.

Your care is at the centre of everything we do
