We are very pleased to announce that the Seamoor Unit has been chosen as the name for the new Chemotherapy and Day Treatment Unit at North Devon District Hospital following a public appeal for suggestions.

We were overwhelmed with suggestions following an appeal with the North Devon Gazette for a name that reflects the North Devon’s landscape. Bideford resident, Pam Hick’s winning suggestion was picked as the hospital sits between the Sea and Exmoor and we believe it positively reflects the image of the new life saving unit.

A tribute has also been made to Jennifer Bonetta, founder of the North Devon Cancer Care Trust. The charity has been an incredible support and has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Chemotherapy Appeal. We are very proud to announce that the unit’s main treatment area will be named the Jennifer Bonetta Treatment Room in her memory.

Building work is due to be completed in March and we are offering the public a chance to look round the new Seamoor Unit on 26th, 27th and 28th March between 9.30am and 4pm. Please phone 01271 322460 to book a tour.
