New Milton Health Centre in Spencer Road. Picture: Google Maps/ Street View A MEDICAL partnership of GPs in the New Forest will have administered 4,000 coronavirus vaccination doses by tomorrow. Patients from the surgeries that make up the Coastal Medical Partnership are receiving their first jabs from the New Milton Health Centre in Spencer Road. This includes patients from the Arnewood, Barton, New Milton Health Centre and Webb-Peploe surgeries after the group of practices was named as one of the early adopting sites for vaccinations. A further 1,000-plus vaccinations were also carried out in one day in north Dorset. But the Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group has refused to reveal how many have been carried out across the county in total.
COMMUNITY mental health services could learn and improve if they listen to the views of the people who need their support, according to a new report from Healthwatch Dorset. Healthwatch Dorset has been talking to local people with a range of mental health support needs, including people who are experiencing homelessness and those with drug and alcohol addictions, as well as voluntary sector workers who support them. The county health watchdog wanted to understand how mental health support is provided to people in the community, and to hear people’s views about how mental health services could be improved. Healthwatch Dorset manager Louise Bate said: We wanted to speak to people who don t always have a strong voice, to give them the opportunity to make a real difference to the way mental health services in our community are set up and delivered.
The Adam Practice A DOCTOR S surgery based in Poole is encouraging all patients to accept the offer of a coronavirus vaccine as it makes its final preparations to deliver the jab. The Adam Practice, which has four surgeries in Poole and Lytchett Matravers said it will be launching vaccination clinics either at the end of this month or early next month. Jabs will initially be made available to the identified priority groups of patients aged over 80 and care home residents. A post on the surgery s Facebook page said it is working with Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to prepare for the rollout, with other areas of Dorset starting sooner due to vaccine availability and logistics.
