Our Future Hospital (OFH) is our programme to build a better hospital in North Devon.
Set up by the Royal Devon following the inclusion of North Devon District Hospital (NDDH) in the Government’s New Hospital Programme, it’s through this programme that we aim to deliver on our promise to modernise NDDH to meet the healthcare needs of the local population for years to come.
We made this promise because we believe in order to meet growing demand for hospital care in a sustainable way, we need to rebuild and redevelop critical parts of our estate. If we don’t, services will become unreliable and inefficient, and we will see temporary closures as we need to repair equipment and facilities.
OFH is the single biggest investment in the hospital since it was built and is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to upgrade our current estate. It will deliver modern, integrated care for patients and improved working facilities for staff, with high-quality urgent and emergency care in specialist facilities.
Our Future Hospital aims to:
Update our existingestate to meet our current and future needs and standards.
Invest in our local hospital so it can continue delivering critical services to one of the country’s most remote populations. It will provide more modern, fit for purpose facilities, integrated care for patients, while providing staff with improved working environments, enabling the delivery of high-quality urgent and emergency care alongside planned, routine and specialist services.
Improve accommodation and wellbeing facilities for staff. This will make our hospital a great place to work, thereby boosting recruitment and retention levels, which is crucial to delivering a sustainable service into the future.
Modernise the hospital and our services through using new technology and equipment. This process started with the implementation of our Electronic Patient Record (ERP) system, Epic, and patient portal, MY CARE, which marked the beginning of a full digitalisation of our work and the significant benefits this provides patients and staff.
Our Five Ambitions
Our ambitions for the Our Future Hospital programme reflect the hospital’s need to adapt to a growing population, as well as the significant opportunities to transform the way we deliver care brought about by technological development.
