Promoting the voices of homeless communities in Dorset
We shine a spotlight on the health and care needs of people who are homeless and the challenges they face when trying to access vital care and support, such as dental care and end of life care.
Working with the Care Quality Commission to tackle inequalities in health and social care.
We talked to 16 people who are currently homeless, at two homeless support groups, HealthBus in Bournemouth and Soul Food in Weymouth.
We asked people about their experiences of being homeless and using health and social care services, and about the challenges they face and the changes they would like to see to make it easier to get the care they need. We also asked people how health and care services could communicate more effectively with the homeless community.
