Your patient journey

Why choose Royal Devon Private Healthcare?

We combine the clinical excellence, safety, and continuity of NHS care with enhanced access, convenience, and a personalised service — providing patients with a trusted alternative that reinvests profits into core NHS services, supporting wider community health.

Our private patient services are offered at a variety of locations across Devon, with easy access from Somerset, Dorset and Cornwall. We currently offer private patient care from our acute hospitals in Barnstaple and Exeter as well as from the Nightingale Hospital Exeter and Tiverton District Hospital.

NHS facilities and procedures

All private patient services delivered by the Royal Devon use the same NHS high standards of care and safety. Also, by being treated on one of our NHS sites, there is immediate access to other specialised medical teams.

NHS clinicians

All private patient services delivered by the Royal Devon use the same highly trained NHS clinical staff.

Waiting list reduction

By opting for private healthcare, you may be treated outside of normal NHS operating hours which could lead to a reduction in the time taken to be treated. This may also help to support a reduction in NHS waiting lists and enable other people to be treated more quickly.

Convenient care

We only offer private patient treatment out of our normal NHS operating hours, typically evenings and weekends. This can be more convenient to people with busy lives and also helps us to get more use out of the financial investment we have made in our infrastructure and services.

Reinvestment

All profits made from our private patient work are reinvested back into NHS services.

Transparent pricing

Fixed self‑pay packages and insurer recognition.
