About Us
The Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust was formed in 1991 and manages a portfolio which includes an acute hospital five community hospitals and a wide range of community health and social care services

This integration was further enhanced in April 2008 with the establishment of integrated management of adult community health services and social care provision through cluster management arrangements aligned to primary care services in northern Devon
