Wareham Community Hospital

We care for in-patients out on Saxon Ward, having moved onto the existing building 27 years ago from the ‘Old Spike’ across the road. Wareham Hospital also hosts a large variety of out-patient clinics serving the Purbeck community ranging from health and wellbeing to podiatry. Due to our central location we also host regular training and meetings for Dorset Healthcare and we are home to the Pan Dorset Chronic Fatigue service

Our patients on the ward enjoy single rooms and the ward has recently been refurbished to provide a light and cheerful environment. The ward has achieved Gold standard Framework accreditation for end of life care and also has a designated room with kitchen facilities for any family or carers that wish to stay close to their loved one.

As part of the commitment to Dementia Care we have adopted ‘John’s Campaign’, which enables friends and family of patients with dementia to visit as often as they need and share in the care given during their stay with us.

Wareham Hospital also hosts a weekly chemotherapy clinic run by Poole General Hospital which means that Purbeck residents can receive this treatment closer to home. The setting up of this clinic was greatly supported by the Friends of Wareham who enabled the purchase of essential equipment and the hospital continues to enjoy the ever-increasing support from the Friends.
