Ward
Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton
The Hestercombe wards are managed by two ward teams with different specialities and the matron is Nicola Cole. We care for patients who require surgery.
We have people admitted who are either waiting to have or recovering from an operation.
Hestercombe North (beds 1 to 16) is managed by ward manager Moira Conway. This ward specialises in gastroenterology.
Hestercombe South West (beds 17 to 40) is managed by ward manager Sarah Willoughby. This ward specialises in trauma and orthopaedics, spinal, gynaecology and gynae-oncology, bariatric surgery and breast surgery.
The wards are on level 1 of the Jubilee Building.
You can contact the reception team on 01823 344342.
Visitors are welcome between 10am to 9pm – seven days a week.
Children over the age of 11 are allowed to visit the wards. If children younger than 11 wish to visit, please discuss this with the nursing team.
If you have relatives who wish to visit or stay outside of normal visiting times, please discuss this with the nursing team.
For the safety and comfort of all our patients we restrict visitors to 2 at a time, but do ask the nursing team if more visitors need to come in.
