People living in and around Dorset are being asked to use staywelldorset.nhs.uk as their first port of call if they need any information about how to stay healthy over the coming months.
Initially designed to keep people informed about the different urgent care pathways available, staywelldorset.nhs.uk now hosts a wider range of information including
- where and when vaccinations are available
- where to find the most appropriate treatment if someone becomes ill
- support available for those who are leaving hospital
- healthy living including blood pressure and the importance of staying hydrated
- how to access voluntary sector support
- mental health support in Dorset and how to access it.
The redesign has been led by local NHS and council teams working together with voluntary sector representatives, recognising that often winter messages can be confusing or spread across several websites, meaning it is sometimes difficult for people to find the information they need quickly.
Visit staywelldorset.nhs.uk to find out about health and care in Dorset.
The local NHS will be offering free blood pressure checks and healthy lifestyle advice at an upcoming event in Slade’s Park Pavilion, Ensbury Ave, Bournemouth BH10 4HG.
The event takes place on 20 November 2024 and the team will be available between 11am and 2pm.
