Welcome to the Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

 

Image:Edward Colgan and Linda NashWelcome to the new Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust website.  Our aim is to provide clear and accessible information about our services and how to access them. 

 

On the website you will find a wide range of information about our services for people of all ages who are experiencing problems with their mental health and require support to improve their emotional health and wellbeing.

 

The Trust offers an extensive variety of services that are recovery focussed and socially inclusive, and are delivered in agreement with our service users, their carers and families to ensure that they receive the necessary level and choice of support to meet their needs and enable them to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life.

 

The Trust is nationally recognised for its innovative work and high quality of services.  Our services have been rated as 'Excellent' by the Healthcare Commission for the past three years and we were one of only 57 trusts nationally to receive a personal letter from the Secretary of State for the consistent delivery of high quality services.

 

The website has been specifically designed to be accessible to all and is available in different formats and languages.  We hope that you find the information helpful and the website easy to navigate, enabling you to access the information that you require and learn more about the work of the Trust. 

 

We are proud of the services that we provide and of the hard work and commitment of our staff and personally invite you to visit the NHS Foundation Trust page on the website where you will find details of how you can join us by becoming a Member of the Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and contribute to the further development and improvement of mental health and learning disability services in Somerset.

 

With our very best wishes

Delivering Same Sex Accommodation

 

The Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust recognises the importance of delivering high quality services for all patients.

 

The Department of Health issues guidance regarding standards and principles of good practice for inpatient care. The Trust is compliant with this guidance and the standards and principles of good practice  in respect of same sex accommodation.  No patients share sleeping accommodation or bathroom and toilet facilities with members of the opposite sex.  However, the Trust also recognises that there is always room for improvement and is committed to an ongoing programme of work to continue to improve all accommodation and facilities.
