Dorset County Hospital have a ‘My Care Passport‘ system in operation for patients with Autism or a Learning Disability or their carers to show to staff upon any admission.
Being admitted or attending a hospital appointment can be frightening, confusing and stressful. For people with a learning disability or autism these feelings can be magnified.
Going into hospital is also now very different because of the Coronavirus. Face coverings to be worn if you can and follow the guidance around social distancing and hand washing. You do not have to wear a face covering if you can’t put on, wear or remove one because of a physical or mental illness, or impairment or disability, or if putting on, wearing or removing a face covering will cause you severe distress.
Hospitals can be noisy and have very bright lights. If this is something that causes you distress or anxiety,

If you would like to talk to someone about your admission or appointment before you come in please contact:

Keep digging! You’ll never know what you’ll find!
An 82-year-old man in a small town in Germany, while working on his garden, stumbled upon a curious crop that looked different from the others. Upon giving it a closer look, he noticed a shiny band embedded and around one of his carrots. His greatest surprise was that this was the man’s lost wedding ring which had been missing for three years.
Three years ago, he & his wife were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary and he noticed his wedding band missing later that day. He couldn’t remember where he’d lost it and despite searching everywhere and over time, he lost hope. His wife comforted him, was full of hope and reassured him it would ‘turn up eventually’. Which indeed it did! The ring had probably slipped off his finger while he was working in the garden that day. It had got buried in the ground until it finally resurfaced by being caught by a sprouting carrot.
Sadly, the man’s wife had died six months earlier – but he has the memory of her closer in retrieving his wedding band. 🙂

Dorset Council have received a planning application to build six stables and a tack room with grooms’ accommodation has been made by Lower Chapel Marsh Farm, Axnoller Lane, Beaminster. The application also includes the removal of an existing mobile home.
Agents say the application is on behalf of The Chedington Court Estate and is part of the ongoing development of the site to provide a world class equestrian centre.
The ground floor of the new building is proposed to have six stables and a tack room, the first floor accommodation having three grooms bedrooms; one with an en-suite shower room, together with a separate bathroom and a guest suite with sitting room.
Trevor Bevins from the Dorset Echo reported:
“Agents say the use of the building is multi-functional, providing space not only for existing horses on the site, but also visiting horses and teams together with their staff, hence the requirement for the grooms accommodation, with the guest suite being provided for the horse owner.
The facility is used by Ellie Guy Eventing and by Chris Burton, a leading Australian eventer who finished third in the world in the 2019 season.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic the New Zealand and Australian eventing teams were due to visit the site and train before the Tokyo Olympics which were due to take place later this year.
There are currently four permanent staff on site and a further two part time. The number of horses on site varies but at any one time there can be up to 30 horses.”
