Proud to be a social enterprise
Devon Doctors Ltd, its subsidiaries Devon Health Ltd and Devon Dental Ltd are social enterprise organisations. We exist to benefit the local communities we serve. Any profits are put back into our health services. We’re run by healthcare professionals, owned by GP practices, and we don’t have shareholders.
Strong links with local practices
Devon Doctors Ltd and Devon Dental Ltd are owned by every GP practice in Devon. The practices vote for a GP to represent their area on the Board.

Devon practices have a direct influence over the service we provide which means better continuity between daytime and urgent out-of-hours primary care.
Providing safe out-of-hours care
Devon Doctors' urgent out-of-hours service consistently meets the Department of Health national quality requirements.
In some areas we exceed these requirements:
- We aim to respond to calls for all palliative care patients within 20 minutes and a home visit within one hour.
- We ask our drivers to phone ahead with an ETA to all patients requiring a home visit.
We continue to look at ways we can further improve the service. If you have any suggestions please email ddocs.patientfeedback@nhs.net
