Alderney Hospital is a National Health Service hospital in Alderney (a suburb of Poole, Dorset) and is a part of Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust. [1] [2]

History

Alderney Hospital was commissioned in 1889 by Poole Rural District Council as an isolation hospital; the hospital provided care for people suffering from a range of infectious diseases including typhoid and diphtheria. [3] Smallpox care was not provided here, instead being provided at Baiter Hospital – erected during the 1887 epidemic. [4]

Poole Rural Sanitary District was abolished by The Local Government Act 1894; by 1912 Poole Town Council had assumed responsibility for the hospital. [5]

In 2018, £5.9 million was given by the Department of Health to aid older people's inpatient mental health services at the hospital. [6]

Facilities

Alderney Hospital provides in-patient assessment and treatment services to older adults with organic mental health disorder across two wards. [7] St Brelades is a 17-bed ward for males and Herm is a 23-bed ward for both sexes. [8]

The hospital also provides inpatient physical rehabilitation services to older people across two wards, Guernsey and Jersey, totalling 48 beds. [9]

Haymoor Day Hospital

Haymoor Day Hospital, sometimes referred to as Haymoor Day Centre, is located on the grounds of Alderney Hospital. [10] The unit provides non-residential care for those experiencing mental health crisis in an effort to avoid hospital admission. [11] [12]
