Peninsula Medical School and Peninsula Dental School have come together in The Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, a partnership between the University of Exeter, the University of Plymouth and the NHS in Devon and Cornwall.
Peninsula Medical School was established in 2000. Formed following a successful bid to the Government, it is part of a national expansion of medical student numbers in the UK. Peninsula Medical School is one of five entirely new medical schools and was one of the first to be developed in the UK for more than 30 years.
The requirement to increase training capacity for dentists led to a successful bid to the Government that established Peninsula Dental School in 2006, with the first cohort of students joining in September 2007.
Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD) in partnership with the University of Plymouth, the University of Exeter and the NHS in the South West, is reorganising and restructuring its postgraduate provision in line with changes in the NHS and Higher Education sector.
