Construction of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust’s new £10 million Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) is coming along.
The CDC was announced in October 2022, as part of a nationwide campaign to increase diagnostic capacity and reduce the backlog after Covid. It is aimed at spotting early warning signs for illnesses and patients would be referred to the CDC by their doctors.
“Right test, right time, right place”
The CDC will provide additional tests within:
- Cardiac physiology
- Respiratory physiology and sleep studies
- Rheumatology
- Imaging
- Urology
- Endoscopy
- Gynaecology
Re-modelling of car park
Part of the extension sits on some of the existing car park, displacing some parking spaces, but the circular car park would be re-modelled.
A main CDC entrance will be created at the car park level with a specific entry for the mammography department.
