Torbay Hospital in Torquay is the main hospital of South Devon, England. It is managed by the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.
After the hospital management decided to build a new hospital, a property known as Hengrave House was purchased from Major K.P. Kitson and a design was developed by Percy Adams. Much of the finance was donated by Ella and Violet Wills, daughters of Wills baronets. The new facility was officially opened in 1928 and a chapel, which had been designed by Charles Holden, was added in 1930. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.
The hospital has 650 parking spaces for visitors and 1,100 for staff, who pay at rates linked to their earnings.
Services
The hospital contains an accident & emergency department, which is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and has a grass helipad.
