Change of hospital for patients who call an ambulance care in certain Devon postcodes

The Royal Devon, like many NHS Trusts, continue to experience significant capacity challenges with ongoing high attendances at its emergency departments. The consistent challenges they face have significantly impacted their urgent and emergency services.

In order to reduce pressure on North Devon District Hospital, from Monday 27 July, the Royal Devon and Exeter (Wonford) Hospital will be supporting its northern teams by receiving patients from postcodes EX36, EX20, EX22.

This change is part of the Trust’s wider plan to continuously improve its emergency services, reduce waiting times and provide the best outcomes for their patients.
