Our Future Hospital offers a brighter future for our hospital. We will improve the quality of services and the speed in which people can access them. Our hospital will be designed to see more patients and to meet the population’s increasing health needs. It will make sure that all new hospital spaces comply with building and infection control standards, and it will bring new diagnostic capabilities, medical science advances and digital care options that our current buildings cannot do and were never designed for.


Modernising the hospital will improve our service offering. New diagnostics, testing technology and equipment will mean faster diagnoses, for more conditions that we can start treating more quickly, especially in cancer where the earlier and faster intervention can take place, the greater the impact on treatment success and recovery.


Our Future Hospital will be a great place to work. Improvements to our hospital will attract staff to join the team and stay with us. Improved working, changing and rest spaces will be available which cannot be created in our 50 year old buildings. The range and quality of clinical services we will be able to provide improved and increased training, research and career development opportunities to staff. No change will make it much harder to recruit staff to vacancies which are already hard to fill and keep staff in the challenging working conditions that exist.


Our Future Hospital will be great for Devon. The new hospital will be a huge asset for the Devon Health and Social Care system, supporting closer integration with other hospitals, primary, community, mental health and social care services and with our great local charities, including our own Royal Devon Hospitals Charity. It will keep services local for the communities it serves and remain a major source of direct and supplier jobs in Northern Devon. It will ensure North Devon District Hospital can continue to play its part in relieving pressure across the Devon healthcare system and will also be an important enabler of the tourist and visitor economy.
