Tonight’s Wave of Light marks the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Our colleagues at both Musgrove Park and @YeovilHospital paused at 7pm to light a candle, and remember all the little lives lost too soon. 💙💜 #BLAW2022

It’s nearly the weekend, and it’s set to be a hot one ☀️

We're expecting healthcare services to be busier than they've ever been. So we’re asking local communities to use our NHS in Somerset, sensibly.

Remember to look after yourselves, and look out for each other 💙

Following a rise in the number of patients with COVID-19 we're taking the difficult decision that from today we're asking all patients, visitors and colleagues to wear a face mask inside all of our NHS buildings, including clinical areas and non-clinical areas such as corridors.

To round off #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we asked community mental health nurse Sarah to share a 'day in the life' on #InternationalNursesDay2022 yesterday - giving an insight into her role.

Our Infection Prevention & Control team has been centre stage over the past 18 months - guiding colleagues, patients and visitors in preventing the spread of viruses like noro, flu and COVID-19.

The team was awarded a Somerset Star for their outstanding support. Thank you 👏⭐️
