The Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust ran Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Honeylands Children's Centre (for specialist assessment and support for children with special needs and their families), the Exeter Mobility Centre (providing orthotics, prosthetics, wheelchairs and special seating), and the Mardon Neuro-Rehabilitation Centre. The trust's application for NHS Foundation Trust status was approved in December 2003, which became effective on 1 April 2004.
The trust took over the management of Castle Place Practice with 15,000 patients in Tiverton in 2018.[1] It also now runs a number of community services including inpatient beds in Tiverton, Sidmouth and Exmouth.
It merged with the Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust in April 2022 to form the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, chaired by Dame Shan Morgan.[2]
