Dartmoor Building

Dartmoor Building

Construction is well underway for the new Dartmoor Building which will be home to the new Urgent Treatment Centre and relocation of the Fracture Clinic at the University Hospitals Plymouth, Derriford site. The building is due for completion early 2025 and will be located opposite the multi-storey car park, Costa and Boots pharmacy and adjacent to Derriford Road.

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

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.

You should visit the UTC if you have an injury which is not life threatening, but still requires urgent treatment such as:

  • Cuts - we can use glue, steristrips (paper stitches) or sutures to close wounds
  • Small burns or scalds
  • Bites and stings
  • Sprains and certain fractures (upper and lower limbs)
  • Minor head injuries
  • Infected wounds
  • Foreign bodies in eyes

You do not need to pre-book an appointment, just drop-in to the centre during our opening times.

Note, the Urgent Treatment Centre is scheduled to open early 2025
