Somerset Health Data Survey

As part of NHS Somerset’s work to improve health and care services across Somerset, they have teamed up with Healthwatch Somerset to launch a Somerset Health Data survey.

The Somerset Linked Data Platform is a secure system that will anonymously link health and social care data to support population health management. It will build a complete view of our communities’ health and wellbeing needs, and these insights will help prevent illness, tailor care, and predict health needs.

If you are a Somerset resident, they would love to hear your thoughts. Your feedback will help make sure this is done responsibly, securely, and in a way that works for everyone.

To take the survey, please click here:

Please take a few minutes to take our survey.

International Day of People With Disabilities

We recognise that people with disabilities may need support to access healthcare. We are able to offer a number of adjustments to services to make them more accessible for patients with disabilities:

☎️VIP Phone Queue- if you are unable to wait in the queue on the phone due to a disability we are able to add you to an easier to manage queue.

🤫 Quiet Area- If you are unable to wait in the main waiting room we have a separate room which can be used, away from the hustle and bustle of the main surgery waiting area.

⏰Longer Appointment Time- If needed we are able to book longer appointments to ensure you have the time needed with the clinician to understand your treatment plan.

These examples are just a few adjustments we have made for patients. If you have a disability and need adjustments to be made, please speak with a member of our reception team who will be happy to help.

🚫 Steam inhalation can cause serious burns — especially in children.
There’s no strong evidence it helps with colds or blocked noses.

✅ Try safer alternatives: fluids, decongestant sprays, and rest.
