Dartmoor Building

Dartmoor Building

Construction is well underway for the new Dartmoor Building which is located on the main Derriford site, opposite the multi-storey car park, Costa and Boots Pharmacy, and adjacent to Derriford Road.

The brand new state-of-the-art building will be home to a new Urgent Treatment Centre but will also see the relocation of key hospital services from the main hospital such as the Fracture Clinic, Main Outpatients and Pre-operative assessments.

The whole building is due for completion at the end of August 2025. This development is a significant step toward improving patient care and accessibility at the site.

Fracture Clinic
The Fracture Clinic will be relocated from the main hospital site to the Dartmoor Building and will offer a multidisciplinary team of experts to diagnose, treat and support patients in their recovery of fractures in a larger, modern purpose-built healthcare environment.  The clinic will provide:

• Increase in consultation rooms and plaster rooms
• Shorter waiting times and faster diagnosis
• Dedicated area for children
• Comfortable waiting area

Both main Outpatients and Pre-operative assessment services will also relocate to Dartmoor.

 

Urgent Treatment Centre Services
Urgent Treatment Centre’s are open every day to treat you if you have an injury which is not life-threatening, but still requires urgent treatment.
