A day to remember and lots of pets for good furry friends! We recently had a very special assignment: acting as a guest judge at a dog show, hosting by Hamberley Care Home’s Upton Manor Care Home. 🐶🏆

We met so many adorable dogs, spoke with wonderful members of our community and worked alongside the Upton Manor Care Home team, who chose us as their Charity of the Year. 💙

Thank you so much to everyone who attended this event. It was paws-itively amazing. 🐾

It’s Funded Friday! Today, we’re celebrating an incredible away day for one of our Emergency Department teams at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.🏥💙🩺

To sharpen their communication skills, the team stepped out of the hospital to learn more about each other. They took part in team engagement and development sessions, including a creative exercise to give information about themselves and get to know others better. ✨

Then, in the afternoon, they faced their fears and climbed to new heights (literally) as a team. The feedback has been amazing, and it was a great day to celebrate each other. 🧗🏽‍♂️

Thank you for donating and helping our teams across University Hospitals Dorset grow together. 🙏

Imagine the impact of your vision fading. Things that many of us take for granted, like reading a book, enjoying the view of the Dorset coastline or recognising a familiar face, slowly become blurred and frightening.

Now, imagine the joy of getting sight back. We are fundraising for a new, life-changing surgical microscope to help restore the sight of patients supported by the Royal Bournemouth Hospital's Eye Unit. 👁️🔬

This exceptional piece of technology is designed specifically for delicate, sight-saving eye surgery for conditions such as cataracts, retinal detachment, glaucoma and oculoplasty. With this microscope, thousands of patients will receive safer, faster and more effective treatment, giving them the best possible chance of regaining clear vision. 💙🩺

Every donation helps save someone's sight. Tap the link and help fund the future of microscopic eye surgery at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital 👉 www.UHDcharity.org/Microscope/ 🔗
