Voluntary and Community Sector Mapping to support Dorset's Five Year Forward Plan

18th September 2023

Opportunity to consider how NHS Dorset can work together with the voluntary and community sector in the future

NHS Dorset is currently mapping voluntary and community groups and services across Dorset that are playing a key role in helping to prevent ill health, support wellbeing and improving health outcomes. There is a focus on the Dorset Joint Forward Plan outcomes. These outcomes have been informed by what local people, and colleagues working in health and care, have told us is important. You can read the Dorset Joint Forward Plan by clicking on the following link:  https://nhsdorset.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Joint-Forward-Plan.pdf  

The aim of this work is to gain an understanding and awareness of the great work already being delivered by voluntary and community groups before considering how NHS Dorset can look to build on this to deliver against the ambitious targets within the forward plan. This is a great opportunity to consider how NHS Dorset can work together with the voluntary and community sector in the future.

NHS Dorset understand you may be helping to deliver against a number of the outcomes. This is great and please describe this within the form. They only require one completed form to describe the full range of work you do.

Please could you kindly complete the form within the following link to ensure NHS Dorset are aware of your organisation, groups or services:
