As a national leader in day surgery, with a well established, internationally recognised, purpose built Day Surgery Unit, it is fitting that the Trust is currently in the process of building the two new theatres. With most of the elective operating in ENT at Torbay being daycase this will significantly expand our capacity.
The success of the Trust, the collegiate and supportive working environment and our location (with unparalleled access to some of the finest beaches and Dartmoor on the doorstep whilst retaining robust, fast major road and train access) has ensured colleagues across the specialties are of the highest quality with many national leaders and innovators.
The Trust has led nationally in the concept of taking an integrated approach to delivering healthcare and was supported to become the country’s first Integrated Care Organisation, successfully bringing together acute and community health alongside social care.
