Rise in patients attending A&E departments in Somerset MORE patients visited A&E at the Somerset Trust last month, with demand rising above the levels seen over the same period last year. NHS England figures show 15,764 patients visited A&E at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Musgrove Park Hosital in Taunton, in June. That was a rise of 11% on the 14,257 visits recorded during May, and 48% more than the 10,685 patients seen in June 2020.

The majority of attendances last month were via minor A&E departments – those which treat minor injuries and illnesses such as fractures, cuts and bruises – while 44% were via major departments, with full resuscitation equipment and 24-hour consultant-led care.

SOMERSET â As president of Somerset Trust Company, T. Jeff Cook has often compared his vision for the company to a long-distance run.
âWeâre marathoners, not sprinters â we are in it for the long haul,â Cook has often told staff.
Jeff Cook began his career with the bank after spending seven years in private law. He worked alongside his brothers, Andy and G. Henry Cook for decades, overseeing lending and in-house legal affairs.
His familyâs measured approach has been exemplified by the growth Somerset Trust has undergone during his 36 years with the company, bank officials said.
When he first began serving as its general counsel in 1986, the company had three locations and 76 employees. Today, it has grown to 40 locations, $1.7 billion in assets and a staff of 475.
