Background InformationAbout Weldmar Hospicecare
We are an independent charity providing specialist end-of-life care to patients and their loved ones throughout Dorset. Our care is delivered in the comfort of patients' own homes, through our community nurses and Weldmar at Home team, or as inpatients at our hospice in Dorchester.
We work closely with other healthcare providers, including the NHS, to ensure our patients receive the highest possible care. Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers ensures we can support patients through one of life's most challenging journeys.
We receive some funding from the NHS, but the majority of our income is generated by our fundraising and retail teams, which plays a vital part in securing income to fund our care, both now and in the future.
Our Clinical Services
- A 12-bed inpatient unit in Dorchester serving approximately 300 people a year.
- A community-based specialist palliative care service led by 13 specialist nurses, supporting around 650 patients each year.
- An MND service for people living with motor neurone disease.
- Weldmar at Home service.
The Specialty Doctor post is primarily concerned with providing continuity of medical support and care in the inpatient unit. However, it may also involve outpatients or domiciliary visits.
Scope and Limits of AuthorityThe medical and nursing teams work closely together. While the postholder will exercise their own professional judgment, the advice of other clinical and nursing staff will be important in informing their decisions.
The postholder will consult regularly with Weldmar Hospicecare's:
- Consultants in Palliative Medicine
- The Associate Specialist
- The Director of Clinical Services
- The lead nurses for the inpatient unit and community nurses
Sound links with GPs and hospital-based teams are also essential. Attendance at meetings of the Charity's Medical Staff is expected.

- Management of existing patients.
- Community visits and outpatient consultations at the IPU are undertaken at the request of the Community Palliative Care Nurse Specialists and primary care colleagues.
- Participation within the IPU in the MDT meetings and handovers.
- Provision of advice and support by telephone to the Palliative Care Nurse Specialists in the Community and at Dorset County Hospital and to GPs as appropriate.
- Full participation in professional activities, including clinical audit, training, and quality assessment activities.
- Commitment to meeting CPD requirements, with appropriate support to enable this.
- Participation in teaching for medical students from Southampton University and GPVTS doctors in association with the Consultants.
