Devon Partnership NHS Trust is a mental health trust established in 2001. It commissions and delivers mental health, learning disability and neurodiversity services in Devon (excluding Plymouth), England.
History
[edit]The North and East Devon Partnership NHS Trust was established in April 2001,[2] before renaming to Devon Partnership NHS Trust in March 2002.[3]
In December 2016, the Trust announced that it had applied for planning permission to build a brand new, £5.5 million psychiatric intensive-care unit (PICU) in Exeter. Work on site started in November 2017,[4] and was completed in January 2019.[5]
In March 2025, the Chadwell Centre in Paignton, which is owned by the Trust, was damaged by an arson attack.[6]

In 2004 the trust established the "Mindful Employer" initiative, which aims to foster and promote positive attitudes to mental ill health across the UK and to support employers with the recruitment and retention of staff. The Mindful Employer initiative is administered by a team of mental health and employment professionals within the Trust.[8] The initiative is now operated nationally,[9] and promotes Mindful Employer Charter, a "Charter for Employers who are Positive about Mental Health".[10]
