About us
Derriford Hospital opened in 1981 and has gradually expanded to replace the four major acute hospitals in Plymouth in existence at that time. The site was chosen just outside the city limits to facilitate this expansion. The availability of adjacent land has permitted the development of a 'Medical City' as local planners concentrate medical developments within this area. Specifically the acquisition of land has enabled the following developments to take place:o A science park adjacent to the hospital that includes the Diving Diseases Research Centre, Medical Innovations Centres and the new Undergraduate Medical School buildings.o The relocation of the Royal Eye Infirmary.o A new rehabilitation unit dedicated to stroke, neuro and orthopaedic rehabilitation.o An extensive new build on the main hospital comprising nine floors, including a major new critical care facility, rebuild of cardiac theatres and a new library floor together with research and teaching accommodation.o Radiology academy - Department of Health initiative.o New residential buildings for hospital staff
