They include a GP and Professor from the University of Exeter
The Deputy Chief Constable of Devon & Cornwall Police, a local historian and the founder of a cancer charity are among those in Devon who have been named on the New Year's Honours list.
More than one thousand people are to receive the awards across the country - including England's World Cup winning cricketers.
Elsewhere in Devon, a GP and professor at the University of Exeter Medical School is among those who've been awarded an MBE.
Professor John Campbell joined the university in 2002 and has attracted over £28 million of research funding in his career, whilst also publishing over 350 papers in major academic journals.
He's been awarded the honour for his outstanding contributions to primary care of patients and improving GP services.
Prof Campbell said: “I’m extremely honoured and humbled to be receiving this award for my work in primary care. Through my work, I’m committed to the mission of improving the quality of patient experience of NHS primary care services.
"GPs are a vitally important asset to the NHS, and have a special role in providing high-quality access to NHS services. My research aims to help optimise this resource and service in challenging times.
"To be recognised for this is a huge commendation, and I hope that in receiving this honour, I can further my research and continue to improve patient’s experience of the NHS.”
