Forest Holme

Forest Holme is a purpose built specialist palliative care unit, which forms part of the Dorset Cancer Centre at Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The unit is situated a short distance from the main hospital and offers a tranquil setting for the care of patients and their families.

The unit has facilities for outpatients, specialist nurses, counselling support and teaching on the ground floor and ten beds for inpatients on the first floor.

Forest Holme takes its name from the Victorian house that originally stood on the site. The unit was dedicated by the late Roy Castle OBE on 3rd July 1993, and was officially opened by Lady Romsey on 9th January 1995.
