History
[edit ]On 1 April 1993, the Royal Devon and Exeter Healthcare NHS Trust started managing services provided by the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital and associated sites.[1] [2]
The Trust's application for NHS Foundation Trust status was approved in December 2003 before becoming effective on 1 April 2004 creating the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust.[3]
The Trust took over the management of Castle Place Practice with 15,000 patients in Tiverton in 2018.[4] It also now runs a number of community services including inpatient beds in Tiverton, Sidmouth and Exmouth.
The Trust 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.[5]
Performance
[edit ]
In October 2014, it was reported that the Trust was not meeting the government target for 85% of cancer patients to be treated within 62 days of being referred by their GP. The trust said it was due to increasing demand for complex surgery, and that treatment was only delayed if "clinically appropriate".[6]
In May 2015, the trust reported an end-of-year deficit of 11ドル.2 million – an increase of 8ドル.1M compared with the previous financial year.[7] It expects a deficit of 20ドル.2M for 2015/6.[8]
Developments
[edit ]In 2018, the trust announced that it was to implement a single Epic Systems electronic patient record systems in place of the 15 systems it has been using. It cost 42ドルM. The trust said "Patients will be able to access their patient records, medical history, and test results, and they will get instant confirmation of when appointments are booked rather than having to wait for letters to arrive."[9]
In 2021 the trust bought the site of its local Nightingale Hospital, on an industrial estate outside the city, which will be used for several types of elective care. It plans to lease two modular operating theatres on the site.[10]
