Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services (BSPS) was formed at the end of 2016 as a contractual joint venture between five acute NHS Foundation Trusts:

The shared service model is administered by a unitary management and governance structure. Pathology services within the BSPS network provides acute services at each of the four Trusts and GP services from the Clinical Commissioning Groups in Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex and South West London which account for the majority of the work of the laboratories.

BSPS also receives samples from other NHS Trusts and the independent sectors throughout the UK.
