More about us

NDDH provides a 24/7 emergency service and is a designated trauma unit operating within a trauma network serving the whole of Devon and Cornwall. This network ensures residents of Northern Devon have access to trauma services.

The Trust offers a range of general medical services, including cardio-respiratory, stroke care and gastroenterology. General surgical services include orthopaedics, urology and colorectal specialities. We also run ophthalmology services, using the latest procedures and techniques to treat glaucoma and macular degeneration.

The Trust offers patients a choice of local, specialist services and invites consultants from other neighbouring NHS trusts to hold clinics in the area. We work with Musgrove Park in Taunton on a vascular network and Derriford on a neonatal network.
