A scheme to give people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) better access to services has resulted in fewer missed appointments, the South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust said.
Patients were seen in the community by professionals most relevant to their care during one appointment.
The three-month pilot at Newton Abbot Community Hospital ran twice a month and 34 patients were seen.
The specialist clinics will now continue.
Before the community clinic opened in January, patients had to travel to Torbay Hospital.
