Well done all and great to see strong presence from anaesthesia

[University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust @UHD_NHS]

Congratulations to all of our winners and runners up of our UHD Residents Doctors’ Awards! It was a brilliant evening filled with appreciation, value and support for our doctors.

Thank you for all that you do 🩵

@stirlingfellow @steviekillen @UHD_NHS Agree - I’ve been at the beach before or after work - or both every day in this great weather. Very good for the soul. Glad you had a swim - I didn’t see you. I brought my surfski to work on Monday 🤣

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

#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 👏👏💪💪❤️

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

Thanks for everything you have done to make the move seamless @KerryTa24800219 I hope you’ve had a break?

[Kerry Taylor @KerryTa24800219]

Stopped by to see my amazing MatNeo team @UHD_NHS and deliver some well earned Easter treats. I'm in awe of this team who have settled quickly into their new work home and still have a smile for me on Easter Monday - I think the chocolate helped 😊 #TeamMatNeoUHD

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

@Em__Welham @UHD_NHS Ha! Came straight from the sea- luckily I found a hairbrush.

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

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! ⁦@UHD_NHS⁩

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

@EmmaHonnywill @UHD_NHS Have a great break Emma - thanks 🙏

[University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust @UHD_NHS]

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.

What a day

[University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust @UHD_NHS]

Our St Mary's Maternity Unit is now closed and there are no staff on site at the unit. If you need Maternity services go to the BEACH Building at the Royal Bournemouth – follow signs for zone B. If you need Early Pregnancy or Emergency Gynaecology services, go to the West Wing.

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

We did it! Maternity hospital moved <12h - all babies & mums safely transferred and new babies settling into the BEACH
Thanks to this Legend -months of move planning & general sorting of everything @LeanneUHD @UHD_NHS
Headmistress to @steviekillen & @Alanbetts5 -also fundamental

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

@S_HarringtonNHS @UHD_NHS She is absolute gold

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

Our fantastic shift leader midwives Lauren and Bernie - ready at the BEACH maternity unit in Bournemouth Hospital. All women attending in labour or for emergency gynaecology need to come to Bournemouth. St Marys site at Poole continuing to care for women already there. @UHD_NHS

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

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. @UHD_NHS

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

@Pickfords are here, setting up our equipment moving from St Mary’s to the BEACH building for our maternity move on Monday. We’ve got our Christmas decs sorted! @UHD_NHS

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

@steviekillen @UHD_NHS We needed a Steve cut out to put in the photo 🙈

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

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 !

[University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust @UHD_NHS]

Let’s hear it for our Strategy and Transformation, Estates, and HR colleagues who’ve been busy behind the scenes making sure our new builds, staff and services are ready for us to deliver first-class patient care. We simply couldn’t have done it without them, so thank you all! 🤩

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

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 👏👏

[University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust @UHD_NHS]

Today, #TeamUHD celebrates a major milestone! 🎉

Our critical care team at RBH has moved into the new BEACH Building. With more services joining next week, RBH is on course to become the major emergency hospital for the region.

A big thank you to all involved! 🙏🙏🙏

[Isabel Smith 💙 @IsabelSmith01]

👏👏👏👏☕️

[Steve Killen @steviekillen]

Formal handover of the new Main Entrance and BEACH Building last night. Main Entrance (Costa and Co-op) Will be officially open to patients at the start of April!
