Welcome to the Peninsula Pathology Network

The peninsula network brings together five sites across four trusts in Devon and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The network is working to transform pathology services and improve their sustainability for the future.

Our vision is to deliver the most beneficial model of pathology across the south west peninsula, to help clinical pathways which are dependent on it to be as effective and efficient as possible.
