"The way the nurses were understanding ..."

Yeovil District Hospital does everything it can to ensure the privacy and dignity of patients within the constraints of its buildings. All inpatient wards specialise in particular medical conditions to ensure patients receive care in the appropriate setting. Yeovil District Hospital is compliant with mixed sex accommodation with same gender patients nursed in bays on the specialist wards that care for both men and women. Side rooms are also available on every ward. The bathroom and toilet facilities are signposted for each gender and are positioned at the entrance to each bay. The Day Surgery unit, emergency admission units and A&E are mixed sex wards with privacy and dignity maintained by curtains – it is only short-stay patients who are accommodated in these units.
