Please bear with us until our new, full website goes live in October. However, if you have been unable to find what you are looking for, please contact the Torbay Care Trust Customer Services Centre on 01803 219700 and we will do our best to help you.

Who are we?

We work with a range of NHS and non-NHS organisations, such as Torbay Hospital, GP and dental surgeries, care homes and domiciliary care agencies.

We also have a close partnership with Torbay Council, and work together to provide and develop services to look after the health and wellbeing of local people.
