The county’s brain injury rehabilitation service is celebrating 25 years of caring for patients with severe brain injuries.
A plaque was unveiled at Poole Hospital’s Portland Ward on 2nd August, where the service is based, to recognise the feat.
Staff, supporters and former patients – including some of the service’s fi rst patients – gathered in the ward’s sensory garden for the celebratory event. A special 25th anniversary cake was also cut to mark the occasion for the service, which is jointly run by Poole Hospital and Dorset HealthCare.

Please mention The Corfe Mullen Link when responding to adverts 59
plaque: “I am grateful to see so many former patients along with families and former staff who have come to support the service on its 25th anniversary,” he said.
“It is very appropriate that this is happening in the garden, a
place of healing, which epitomises what Portland Ward has offered to these patients over the last 25 years.”
This service is now complemented by a county- wide community ABI rehabilitation service at Poole Community Health Clinic, based across the road from Poole Hospital.
It is hoped that the inpatient rehabilitation services on Portland Ward will play an increasing role to meet the needs of patients who require specialist rehabilitation after presenting to an emergency hospital with an acute neurological disability.
