Nuffield Health Plymouth Hospital, located on Derriford Road opposite the University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust (UHP) is one of 30 Nuffield Health hospitals being made available to NHS trusts following discussions with NHS England and Wales about how independent hospitals can support NHS patients in its efforts against the coronavirus (Covid-19).
In May 2013 walkers took part in the annual Leafy Lanes sponsored walk around Lydford and Bridestowe, organised by Pals of Plymouth Oncology Outpatients and Chemotherapy (POOCH).
Earlier this month, the Pals of POOCH visited the Oncology Department at Derriford Hospital to present a cheque for £2,500, which was the total raised by the walkers who took part.
