About NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board
NHS Dorset is the public name of NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board, the statutory organisation planning and commissioning NHS services for Dorset. Based in Dorchester, it works with NHS providers, primary care, local authorities and voluntary organisations to meet local healthcare needs. Its 2025/26 annual report records a registered GP population of approximately 824,590 people.
Established in 2022, the ICB works to improve population health, reduce inequalities in outcomes and access, and involve communities in service design. NHS Dorset now shares leadership and functions with NHS Somerset and NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICBs through a cluster. The three bodies remain legally separate ahead of a proposed merger.
Learning and staff support
NHS Dorset lists training and development, appraisals and learning support for its staff. Its careers information also describes an Occupational Health Service and Employee Assistance Programme. These sit alongside policies on equality and diversity and support for colleagues during different stages of working life.
