About Our Trust
The West Dorset General Hospitals NHS Trust looks after the health needs of people throughout West Dorset, serving a largely rural population of 220,000 and employing over 3,000 staff.
We manage Dorset County Hospital in the county town of Dorchester and some services at Weymouth Community Hospital. Our staff also work at other local hospitals, in schools and residential homes, family doctor surgeries and in patients' own homes.
We achieved the top score of three stars in the latest NHS performance ratings (2004/2005) and our waiting times continue to be among the shortest in the country. The Trust holds an NHS Beacon, recognizing excellence in the management of waiting lists.
