About us

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is the first NHS trust on the English mainland to provide community, mental health and acute hospital services.

We work with health and social care partners in Somerset to ensure that we deliver outstanding services that meet the needs of our population. We provide community and mental health services across the whole of Somerset and acute hospital services in the North, West and centre of the county and beyond.

We have over 9,000 colleagues who deliver or support our patient services. From therapists to nurses, doctors, researchers, scientists, porters, cleaners, kitchen staff, accountants, those who teach the next generation of clinicians and the receptionists who welcome our patients, the contribution of all of our colleagues is invaluable.
