Other notable transactional work includes helping Yeovil District Hospital (YDH) NHS Foundation Trust establish Symphony Healthcare Services Limited, a ground-breaking integrated model of care to enable local GP practices to integrate into a new organisation supported by the infrastructure of YDH and have access to such services as finance, IT, estates, and HR.

We have a long tradition of supporting and working closely with the NHS and its partners, and the sector forms a hugely important part of our practice.
