Care statement for Our Dorset
Our Dorset is a partnership of health and social care organisations working together to deliver Integrated Care Systems.
We are working in partnership to recognise, support and value unpaid carers of all ages. This includes listening to carers, commissioning and providing support and enabling carers to have a life outside of caring. These organisations include:
- Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council, including the Carers Resource Information and Support Programme
- Dorset Council, including partners Carer Support Dorset and Rethink
- Valuing Carers in Dorset
- Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust
- Dorset NHS Clinical Commissioning Group
- Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
- University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Hospitals)
- Help and Care, Leonardo Trust, Dorset Carers Hub and Pramacare
This reflects the vision of Our Dorset, that councils, NHS bodies and the voluntary sector work together to support people and carers to look after themselves and promote their wellbeing through joined-up health and care services, linking together with community resources.
