Work on a £5 million Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in Cheshire has been completed.
The CDC at Congleton War Memorial Hospital will host a range of diagnostic services, reducing wait times and travel requirements for patients.
The centre will house vital imaging services, including X-ray and non-obstetric ultrasounds, and cardio-respiratory physiological tests, such as ECGs and echocardiograms.
Designed to be ‘patient-first’, it will allow patients to have appointments with as many tests and services as they need in one visit.
Comprising 13 modular units, the building has been designed and constructed by Premier Modular, a manufacturing and modular building specialist.
Ahead of the opening, Rob Few, deputy director of estates and facilities at East Cheshire NHS Trust, said it had been ‘great to see the modules arriving on-site and we can’t wait to open it to the public.’
He added: ‘Our community services are critical for our local residents and with the new Diagnostic Centre we are able to improve and expand our healthcare services at Congleton War Memorial Hospital.’
