Two public drop-in events are being held to gather feedback from local people about controversial changes to NHS services in west Dorset.

Clinicians from Dorset County Hospital and Dorset HealthCare will be in attendance to outline the changes for Bridport Hospital, which will see some services moving to Dorchester and Blandford.

The NHS says despite this, Bridport Hospital will continue to be the base for a wide range of local and community services.

The engagement events are being held to gather feedback from local people about how these changes could affect patients and what can be done to mitigate any issues.

They will be on Wednesday, March 20 from 6pm-8pm at Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club, Burton Road, Bridport, and on Thursday, April 11 from 10am-12pm at the Women’s Institute Hall, North Street, Bridport.
