Torbay Hydrotherapy pool was opened in 1978 by The Duke of Edinburgh and funded by Torbay Arthritis Project. The pool is used by people of all ages with varying health problems. Patient referrals can come from a number of departments such as rheumatology, orthopaedics, physiotherapy, pain management, podiatry and paediatrics in both the Torbay and Teignbridge area. 

The hospital is looking to close the pool because of running and maintenance costs and the need to expand the fracture and orthopaedic clinics. There is an obvious need for improvements to the clinics at Torbay Hospital but not at the cost of losing the pool. Once the pool is shut it is doubtful that we will ever have one again in our area due to rising costs and decreasing funds. We must act now or lose the facility forever!
