Yeovil Hospital is situated next to the town centre and has good road and rail links. All services are provided on one easily accessible site with a multi-storey car park providing plenty of on-site parking.
We provide acute care for a population of about 185,000 people mostly in South Somerset, North and West Dorset and parts of Mendip. The hospital has 345 beds and a private patients’ wing.
In 2016/17:
- 44,145 people were admitted to our hospital
- 46,453 people attended our emergency department (A&E)
- 43,600 x-rays, MRIs, and other diagnostic tests and scans were carried out
