Location revealed for new Nottingham CDC
Plans have been unveiled for a new Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in the Broad Marsh regeneration development in Nottingham city centre.
The centre will be run and staffed by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
Set to open in Spring 2025, the centre will provide an additional 100,000 diagnostic appointments each year. At full capacity, it is expected to provide in excess of 140,000 appointments annually, which will be available to patients through hospital consultants initially, and eventually also via GPs.
Temporary community diagnostics tests have been available near the station since December 2023 to address the immediate backlog.
Paul Matthew, Chief Financial Officer at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, said:
“We are delighted that we can now share the news that our excellent, highly skilled and dedicated NUH staff will be running the future CDC facility in Nottingham city centre, which will help to change the lives of so many of our patients for the better.
“This centre will be vital in reducing the number of people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire waiting too long for diagnostic tests so that they can then either have peace of mind they deserve, or can begin any treatment required sooner. It will also enable patients to access these tests without needing to travel to a hospital.
“We look forward to working with our partners to further develop plans to help more patients across the city access the care they need.”
