Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was a NHS trust that previously ran Yeovil District Hospital in Yeovil, Somerset, England. It provided acute care for a population of about 180,000, people living in South Somerset, North and West Dorset, and parts of Mendip. The hospital admits around 30,000 inpatients or day cases each year and treats more than 90,000 people in the outpatient appointments. Approximately 40,000 people are treated in Accident and Emergency and 1,300 babies are born in the maternity unit each year. [1]
The trust merged with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust in April 2023.
The trust set up a joint venture, Southwest Pathology Services, with Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Integrated Pathology Partnerships in 2012. All routine pathology, apart from histopathology, is now performed at a separate site which also handles GP tests. Essential service laboratories are established in the hospitals for urgent tests. Turnround times for both GP and hospital tests has improved and costs have been reduced. [2]
In December 2014, the trust established a 15-year strategic estate partnership to fund and manage a new health campus with construction companies Interserve and Prime. The £70 million deal will enable the trust to expand the number of beds for patients with dementia, create a GP practice, a nursing home and a retail pharmacy and to relocate its day surgery service onto the campus.

[5] The programme was reported to have reduced emergency hospital admissions by 30% by focusing intensive support on the 4% of patients with most complex needs. [6] It took over Highbridge Medical Centre, in Highbridge in April 2017. [7] It plans to take on eight more GP practices covering a population of around 61,000 during 2018. [8]
In 2017, the trust established a subsidiary company, Simply Serve, to which 360 estates and facilities staff were transferred. The intention was to achieve VAT benefits, as well as pay bill savings, by recruiting new staff on less expensive non-NHS contracts. VAT benefits arise because NHS trusts can only claim VAT back on a small subset of goods and services they buy. The Value Added Tax Act 1994 provides a mechanism through which NHS trusts can qualify for refunds on contracted out services. [9]
In November 2020 it was reported to be planning a merger with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which would create England’s first provider of primary, acute, community and mental health care services. [10] The merger took place on 1 April 2023. The new trust is known as Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. [11]
