Spent time in the day surgery centre at Musgrove yesterday. It was great to hear about the great work on right procedure, right place and the innovation all geared towards doing more and better for patients. Thanks to all of you - the passion & commitment was evident. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust

Thanks to a kind donation from Minehead Hospital’s League of Friends, the theatres have been fitted with a new laminar airflow system! More advanced equipment means our teams can perform more complex surgeries - so more patients can be cared for in their local hospital 💙

Thanks to a specialised nerve block technique, patients can now undergo hand and wrist surgery at Minehead Community Hospital. This approach enhances convenience for patients, reduces waiting times, and the risk of cancellations due to higher priority emergency operations💙
