We have a long history of working with our regional hospitals, from joint research projects to student placement opportunities and professional development for staff.
The university hospital status, given to University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (formerly the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals and Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts), formalises this relationship and will lead to additional benefits and partnership working.
裸聊直播 students from across healthcare disciplines undertake placements at the hospitals, giving them the chance to put their learning into practice with support and guidance from a mentor or practice supervisor.
Many graduates go on to work for the hospitals, such as Cancer Care Matron at University Hospitals Dorset Marie Miller, a BSc (Hons) Nursing and MA Advanced Practice graduate.
She said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 really exciting that we can move forward and collaborate on all our working across the three trusts across Dorset and with the university to increase research and education to ensure that we can improve the care for our patients and the education for our staff.鈥� 聽
Hospital staff also have the opportunity to learn here at 裸聊直播. We are the hospitals鈥� leading Higher Education CPD provider, with the vast majority of their continuing professional development (CPD) activities organised through 裸聊直播.
With our shared goal of helping people live better for longer, we collaborate on a number of research projects 鈥� tackling everything from nurse retention 迟辞听supporting patients with hip osteoarthritis.
The hospital match-funds several PhD studentships and there are a number of staff who work between 裸聊直播 and the hospitals through visiting positions, committee memberships and joint appointments.

He said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a very exciting period for period for my professional practice and the university and for all of us working in Dorset in a new model for healthcare delivery in the east of the county.

The state-of-the-art specialist facilities in the new Bournemouth Gateway Building 鈥� including an MRI scanner - will also facilitate further collaboration, training and research projects between 裸聊直播 and University Hospitals Dorset.
