We are located at Plymouth Business Park, Derriford, Plymouth, Devon – just a five minute drive of the A38 – PL6 5WR for sat-nav.

Road

From the South: The A38 Devon Expressway provides direct links between Plymouth and Exeter, the M5 and the rest of the UK’s motorway network. The South West Imaging Training Academy is situated within the Plymouth International Business Park, which is only five miles from Plymouth City Centre. It is one mile north of the A38, served by the A386 Tavistock Road, the main north/south route in and out of the city.  From the M5 go directly onto the A38 continuing until the Manadon Junction Roundabout, then merge onto the A386 Tavistock Road (signposted Tavistock, Airport) which is a busy dual carriageway.  Follow the signs for Derriford Hospital.  You will see signs for Plymouth International Business Park, and then position yourself into the right filter lane.

Upon entering the Business Park, you will pass the Future Inn Hotel on your left and the Land Registry on your right. Proceed to the roundabout and turn right (3^rd exit), (do not go straight ahead into the Practice Plus Group Hospital).  Turn right when you see Rhin House (salmon/pink building).  Turn right again and you will see the South West Imaging Training Academy at the top of the hill – purple sign and building.

From the West:  The A30 and A38 provide the two major road links from Cornwall to the A38 Devon Expressway which links onto the rest of the UK’s motorway network.  At Tamar Bridge Roundabout take the first exit onto the A38 Devon Expressway continuing until the Manadon Junction Roundabout, then merge onto the A386 Tavistock Road (signposted Tavistock, Airport) which is a busy dual carriageway.  Follow the signs for Derriford Hospital.  You will see signs for Plymouth International Business Park, and then position yourself into the right filter lane.
