Swine Flu: Yeovil District Hospital is taking every precaution it can to limit the spread of Swine Flu in the hospital community where we have vulnerable patients. Visitors are therefore urged not to attend the hospital if they have flu-like symptoms to avoid the risk of spreading it both to our patients and our staff who care for them.

iCARE has been developed to focus the whole Trust on key elements of patient care which are important to our patients and their loved ones; these are Communication, Attitude, Respect and Environment.  You can view our iCARE movies here.

Providing quality care: A report highlighting the progress Yeovil District Hospital has made in improving both clinical care and patient safety is now publicly available. Chief Executive, Gavin Boyle said: “Last year, we said we would challenge ourselves to continue to improve our standards of patient care and services and the Annual Quality Account highlights many achievements of this throughout the year. We set upon a journey to develop our Clinical Quality Strategy to clearly set down our aims for improving our clinical services under three headings: patient safety, patient experience and clinical outcomes. This framework was agreed after listening to and learning from our patients, relatives and carers, our governors and our staff.
