Congratulations to our urology and theatre teams who have recently launched a new laser treatment for prostate enlargement. HoLEP utilizes cutting-edge laser technology to precisely trim an enlarged prostate. This results in improved urine flow and less pain and bleeding.

Well done to our colleagues from @Tilbury_douglas! 🚮
To mark National Marine Week earlier in the summer, our Dorset County Hospital Project Team rolled up their sleeves & completed a beach clean at Chesil Beach, as part of our Give a Day of Your Time initiative. In total, they removed 16kg of litter! #Volunteering #Community

Heat exhaustion can be avoided by finding somewhere cooler, removing extra layers, drinking cool drinks and keeping hydrated … yes, ice lollies count. Cool water on the skin and cold packs on armpits and the neck also help. Stay cool! ☀️💧 #BeatTheHeat
