The Royal Cornwall Hospital is situated in the Cathedral city of Truro in the centre of the Cornish Peninsula. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its spectacular rural and coastal scenery. Cornwall is well known for its surfing beaches, coastal and inland sailing waters and numerous equestrian opportunities. The Trust (RCHT) is part of the Cornwall Healthcare Community, working in partnership with other local trusts to deliver high quality healthcare services across the county. The Trust has close links to medical specialist services in the South-West Peninsula and beyond. Serving a widespread local population, as well as thousands of visitors to Cornwall each year, poses a number of unique healthcare challenges.

The strong heritage of Cornwall has been further enhanced with the opening of the Eden Project and the National Maritime Museum. Over recent years there has been an unprecedented growth in high quality restaurants and family orientated leisure facilities.

The Trust delivers acute medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 570000 and has a higher proportion of elderly people than the national average. The population more than doubles during the busy holiday periods.

We focus upon professional satisfaction and personal well-being, and we are fortunate that our work and social environment provides the facilities to do so.
