Our timeline

We have a long history of health and care services in Torbay and South Devon. We’ve been capturing some of our key milestones on a timeline that’s adorning the wall of one of our main corridors at Torbay Hospital.

This short video gives a glimpse of the historical milestones that are captured in the display:

You can see the full timeline on the level 4 link corridor at Torbay Hospital.
