    We are delighted to be one of the first NHS Trusts to trial the use of reusable PPE gowns. Each reusable gown replaces the need for up to 75 disposable gowns and will significantly reduce the amount of single use products put into clinical waste each day. @NHSEngland

    A huge thank you to everyone at #TeamDCH who has worked incredibly hard to book and run extra vaccination clinics this weekend to vaccinate hundreds more frontline #NHS staff as the national COVID-19 vaccination programme significantly ramps up. 👏 #OurNHSPeople #COVID19vaccine

    A momentous day @DCHFT as we successfully held our first #COVID19Vaccine clinic as a hospital hub. A huge thank you to our incredible staff who have worked around the clock to safely roll out the vaccination programme. #TeamDCH #OurNHSPeople @NHSEngland @DorsetCCG

    The DCH COVID-19 Vaccination Centre closed its doors today as a hospital hub in line with the national vaccination programme. Teams throughout the hospital came together to run the centre to vaccinate an incredible 24,000 health and care staff from across Dorset. #TeamDCH 👏👏👏

    Our youngest patients can now drive themselves to theatre, thanks so an amazing donation from @RSymonsLTD @TeslaOwnersUK 🚗 Juno was the first one to take it for a spin on our Kingfisher Ward!

    We would like to say a huge thank you to all the military personnel who have supported @DCHFT over the past few weeks. They made a massive difference at a very difficult time and we are so grateful for their help. Thank you everyone, you were brilliant! #OneTeam #TeamDCH

    To help our younger patients feel less anxious about seeing staff wearing PPE we asked for some crochet teddies with masks. This was the first batch to arrive @DCHFT_ED this week and they are fantastic! Thank you! #COVIDkindness #InThisTogether #StayHomeSaveLives
