Our son (aged 6) has a complex medical condition. He has always been treated extremely well by the paediatrics team at Poole - from the day they saved his life, aged three months, to his most recent appointment. The consultant, community paediatric nurse, dietician and play therapist have all taken time to get to know him as an individual rather than as a constellation of medical problems. He trusts them and even quite enjoys his visits to the hospital every few months. There is a very good playroom and some focused work with the play therapist really helped him to be less frightened of blood tests which he still needs fairly regularly. Thank you all!

My mother spent 6 months in Poole Hospital after a bad ankle break. She suffered from quite severe dementia and died there in 2008. There were some nurses who treated her with kindness, others who seemed to try to ignore her calls for help. Many times I saw her food tray taken away untouched, I didn't see her receive help with eating and noticed wrapped packages of food which she was unable to open. I didn't think the facility was suitable for a dementia patient. She wasn't able to operate the call button. I saw dust swirling around the floor under her bed. The morning after Mum died, my father went to the hospital to visit her and was told she had died. Nobody phoned him at home. It was a big shock to him.

Quite an old hospital. Parking is difficult and costs a fortune.
