Patient Information Leaflets

NHS Somerset understands that better information means better choices, which leads to better health outcomes for patients and the public.

Information leaflets that relate to community care and services are produced by NHS Somerset’s provider arm, Somerset Community Health and information leaflets for these services can be found on their website. Information leaflets that relate to acute care services may be obtained from NHS Somerset's secondary care providers' websites.
