Critical Incident Stood Down - 9 January 2025
Message from Darryn Allcorn, Chief Nurse:
"On Tuesday 7 January, we shared that University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust had declared a Critical Incident due to significant and rising demand for hospital care.
"Following incredible efforts by our staff and colleagues in partner organisations over the last few days, I am pleased to report that our position has improved and the decision has been taken to step down from Critical Incident as of late morning (Thursday 9 January).
"It is important to note that although the critical incident has been stood down we continue to have many patients needing hospital care and we have a relentless focus on minimising waits for patients, working to this end with other partners across both the Devon and Cornwall healthcare systems. Thank you to everyone who has supported us."
