Staff have say over new Dorset County Hospital fundraising appeal
The 'Greatest Need' appeal comes as doctors face immense pressure due to rising Covid-19 case rates
Dorset County Hospital Charity is asking the public to support its Greatest Need Appeal which will help fund projects across the whole of the hospital, providing vital support for patients and staff at this difficult time.
The Greatest Need Appeal will direct funding towards areas where it is needed most – on wards and in key clinical units and for the enhancement of the hospital environment and treatment facilities.
Simon Pearson, Head of Charity and Social Value at Dorset County Hospital said,
“As DCH continues to operate under immense pressures from the ongoing Covid pandemic, our patients and staff urgently need that extra support that only the Charity can provide to make care and caring that little bit more special for everyone.
“Dorset County Hospital is doing everything it can to rebuild its services but there are many challenges ahead. Our staff are working hard to overcome the impact of the pandemic on our services and with your help our Charity will continue to be there to give Dorset County Hospital as much support as possible.”
Simon added,
“This appeal will target extra help wherever the need is greatest. This might be by providing state of the art equipment, funding wellbeing initiatives for our dedicated NHS staff or improving the hospital environment for the benefit of everyone who uses it.”
Nicky Lucey, Chief Nursing Officer at Dorset County Hospital said,
“With the help of our amazing donors and the local community, this appeal will help DCH Charity make a real difference to our patients. Thank you for being there for us when we need you – we will continue to be here for you and your loved ones.”
