Looks incredible- what an improvement. Great to see the team in there.

It’s amazing seeing everyone pull together as we get closer to using our new building. Found my new fave spot today in the children’s recreation room. Sadly no time to sit and soak up the sun!

Listening to our amazing head of midwifery Kerry Taylor excitedly describe our maternity hospital - moving from Poole to the purpose built BEACH building at Bournemouth 🏥University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust also beavers! And the increase of women in medicine to more than half of all doctors 💪

My daughter is running Bath half marathon for 2 charities including VOICES providing support and advocacy to those with lived experience of domestic violence. A great cause. Any ££ 🙏 thesubath.enthuse.com/pf/maddy-sinha…

A great day - not surprisingly managed with supreme calm by the team. Everyone already commenting how much more privacy there is for patients as well as less noise, space & fancy lighting. So many can-do people - Ruth our critical care matron from initial design to move SRO 👏👏

Absolute privilege to be working with these multitalented, can-do people. A moment to stop and reflect how much we’ve achieved as we make final preparations for our next clinical move - maternity on Monday !

Huge effort by so many people. Looking forward to our first Mums and babies arriving tomorrow from 08:00 to the new maternity & neonatal units in our BEACH building at Bournemouth. University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust

What a day

A huge milestone for #TeamUHD! 🎉 Yesterday, our maternity, neonatal, and emergency gynaecology teams made their big move from Poole to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Take a look at some key moments from this incredible day. #TransformationTuesday

Lovely send off to St Mary’s this morning. Lots of memories shared. For me personally, 18 years of obstetric anaesthesia, 5 years planning and delivering the move and 3rd baby born in room A 16 years ago. Theatre looks very bare! ⁦University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust⁩

Thanks for everything you have done to make the move seamless Kerry Taylor I hope you’ve had a break?

#InternationalDayOfTheMidwife thanks to all our brilliant team who showed they’ve ‘absolutely got this’ when it came to moving our service. On top of the day job delivering great care to Mums and babies 👏👏💪💪❤️

Well done all and great to see strong presence from anaesthesia
