[[Devon and Cornwall Constabulary]] maintains a substantial police station in Tolcarne Road. The modern fire station in Tregunnel Hill is run by [[Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service]], and is the home of one of the two aerial ladder platforms based in Cornwall. The fire station has 24-hour cover during the summer and is day-staffed in the winter. A separate specialist fire service is maintained at [[Newquay Airport]].

Ambulance cover is provided by the [[South Western Ambulance Service]] NHS Trust from an Ambulance Station in St Thomas Road. [[Cornwall Air Ambulance]] is also based just outside the town, alongside the airport. In addition, the airport at Newquay is one of ten UK bases for the Search and Rescue service, which is run by [[Bristow Helicopters]] on behalf of [[His Majesty's Coastguard]].

The [[Royal National Lifeboat Institution]]'s [[Newquay Lifeboat Station]] is at the harbour.<ref>{{cite book| title = Cornwall's Lifeboat Heritage | last = Leach| first = Nicholas| publisher = Twelveheads Press| page= 46 |edition=2nd | date = 2006}}</ref> There is also a coastguard rescue team based at Treloggan Industrial Park.

=== Newquay Community Hospital ===
[[Newquay Hospital]] was opened in 1931 at the end of St Thomas Road. It is a community hospital catering for both in- and [[outpatients]], with a number of clinics and a minor injuries unit. Cornwall's only general hospital and full [[A&e department|accident and emergency department]] is in Truro.

Proposals in recent years for the Newquay Growth Area, east of the present town, have included a new and larger hospital.
