Our brand new inpatient unit has opened at St Ann’s Hospital in Sandbanks. This is part of the first phase of expanded and improved facilities to support people across Dorset struggling with severe mental issues.

Chaddesley House has been purpose-built to increase capacity and enhance services for local men and women needing 24-hour care and intensive treatment.

The building, which will be ready for patients from the end of May, is part of the £70.6 million investment in Dorset’s mental health services as part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme (NHP).
