DCH maternity unit really delivers

Dorset County Hospital has the best maternity service in the country, according to government inspectors.

The Dorchester hospital’s maternity unit received the best results in the country following a 2022 survey by inspectors from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

A hospital spokesperson said: “The national 2022 maternity survey, published by the CQC, summarises the experiences of women who gave birth during January and February 2022.

“The survey asked them about their experiences of care across the entire pregnancy pathway, from antenatal care, labour and birth, and postnatal care. Over 100 responses were received for Dorset County

Hospital. As well as delivering individual hospital reports, the CQC publishes a report which focuses on variation in results for care during labour and birth.

“DCH received high scores in all areas, including treating people with respect and dignity, trust and confidence levels in staff and involving patients about their care decisions.” The spokesperson added: “DCH officially received the best results in the whole country for the CQC maternity survey.”

Jo Hartley, the hospital’s director of midwifery and neonatal services, said: “It’s a privilege to support families during pregnancy,
