North Devon District Hospital
The North Devon District Hospital (NDDH) is our district general hospital in Barnstaple. We offer emergency and urgent care for people in North Devon and the surrounding areas.
This includes our emergency department, intensive care unit (ICU), women and children’s services and diagnostics as well as many outpatient clinics and specialist services.
Works notice: NDDH main entrance for four weeks from Monday 27 January
From Monday 27 January works will begin outside the main entrance at NDDH affecting the turning circle and drop off area. Works are taking place for approximately four weeks. The main entrance will remain open as normal with a temporary walkway in place.
During this time there will be the temporary loss of some disabled parking. Patients can still be dropped off but cars must not wait, the area will be strictly no parking. Additional disabled parking can be found in the main visitor car park and opposite the Ladywell entrance. A parking attendant will be monitoring the area to assist with the flow of traffic and to ensure the busses can pass.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused whilst we undertake the necessary work.
