Bruce Daniel

I am currently the Head of Pathology for the South-West region of NHS England. 

Previously I have been the Pathology service manager in Truro, a Pathology Incident Director during the covid pandemic and a member of the Peninsula Pathology network board. My background is as a state registered biomedical scientist in Clinical Chemistry and I currently retain my HCPC registration. 

During my career across 35+ years in the NHS I have also enjoyed roles as an imaging service manager, and as divisional manager of a clinical support services division and a medicine and ED division. 

My current interests are in all things “digital”, “externalising pathology”, promoting the principle of an “NHS Pathology” service, and the systems wide “effectiveness, sustainability and resilience” of our pathology services. 

I still get up in the morning excited at the thought of improving pathology services for patients and the population, in the widest sense, and across all its many facets. I believe there is a huge and recurrent opportunity for us all to shape the future provision of pathology and to extend the visibility and scope of its benefits to everyone.
