The sea forms the northern, southern and western boundaries, with the River Tamar forming the eastern border with Devon.



The County has a population of 570,300 (2021 census). The population of the County changes significantly during the summer months with more than 4 million tourists visiting Cornwall each year so that at peak-season in August, the total population is increased by more than 50%.



Cornwall County consists of a new unitary authority for Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly. NHS Kernow CCG is the clinical commissioning group for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The Trust is one of the largest local employers in Cornwall. The Trust was formed as a specialist provider in April 2002 following reorganisation of local NHS Trusts.
