Dorothy House Hospice Care Services supports people with a life-limiting illness across a large geographical area which includes Bath and north east Somerset, part of Wiltshire and part of Somerset. Care and support is given at home, in the hospice, or at one of their outreach centres.

Healthwatch Wiltshire is an independent organisation, which has an important role in assessing the quality of local health and social care services today and influencing the design of services tomorrow. Healthwatch Wiltshire have agreed to work with Dorothy House Hospice Care to establish and maintain a User Advisory Group which supports involvement in service development and quality monitoring of Dorothy House Hospice Care Services.

Healthwatch Wiltshire will employ a Project Officer to facilitate the project and recruit volunteer Advisory Group members. The project will run for a year with the User Advisory Group meeting monthly to work towards the proposed outcomes.
