The Peninsula Medical Foundation
PMF is dedicated to advancing health and wellbeing across Plymouth and the South West Peninsula. Our mission is to support life-changing medical research and health education in partnership with University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust and the Peninsula Medical School at the University of Plymouth.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’ve recently funded vital projects in areas such as brain tumour and Parkinson’s disease research. But there’s so much more to do—and we need your help to make it happen.

“The Peninsula Medical School is a fantastic resource, providing support for the health services of Devon and Cornwall in the present and, through its exceptional research programmes, preparing to conquer new peaks of achievement in the future.
Its scientists really do deserve your support and this can be accomplished through the work of the Peninsula Medical Foundation – we will all benefit in the years to come.”
