The Path to Excellence is a five-year transformation of healthcare provision across South Tyneside and Sunderland.

The Path to Excellence has started early work on Phase Two of the programme for three areas of hospital care.

The areas of care are:

• Acute medicine and emergency care
• Emergency surgery
• Planned care including surgery and outpatient care

The programme has a dedicated website with all the updated information. You can also find all the information from phase one which resulted in improvements to stroke, paediatrics and maternity services.
