HealthBus

The HealthBus provides an essential mobile health facility that travels to areas where people sleep rough, providing basic health care, a GP service and access to addiction and mental health support services across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

The HealthBus Trust, an award-winning charity, is committed to providing specialised healthcare services to individuals experiencing homelessness in Bournemouth and its environs. Utilising a mobile GP-led service, the Trust collaborates with a diverse multidisciplinary team and third-sector homeless service providers to deliver tailored care directly to those in emergency accommodation or sleeping rough. This initiative specifically addresses the barriers and health inequalities that hinder access to mainstream healthcare.
