Prof Alastair Hutchison, chief medical officer at Dorset County Hospital, warns of a busy winter.
A hospital boss has said wards are dealing with more sick patients now than at the peak of the Covid pandemic.
Prof Alastair Hutchison, chief medical officer at Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester, told the BBC it was likely to only become "progressively busier". He said the pressure was mostly being caused by those with illnesses other than Covid who had put off going to hospital during the pandemic.Prof Hutchison said the hospital was fuller now than it had ever been before.
"During the peak moments of Covid people with other conditions were tending to stay away from hospital - which was probably not a good thing," he said. "But it meant at times - even at the peak of Covid - the hospital had spare beds and spare capacity, and now we just don't have that."Prof Hutchison said medics had seen one case of a patient who was admitted with both Covid and flu at the same time."Flu vaccinations are key.
