The Trust works within a network of hospitals to offer a range of specialist services including kidney transplants, Neonatal intensive care and high risk obstetrics and cardiothoracic surgery, among others.

Employing around 7,000 staff and volunteers, University Hospitals Plymouth is a major contributor to a region that is a mix of both rural and urban.
