Since May 2010, Musgrove Park has benefited from a working helipad outside its A&E department, enabling quick air ambulance responses to emergencies in remote areas. The Somerset Bus Partnership, in collaboration with Somerset Council, has been striving to boost the frequency of buses serving the hospital. Their aim is to ease traffic congestion on local roads and alleviate pressure on the hospital’s existing multi-storey car park.
