A brand-new Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) which aims to deliver quicker access to diagnostic testing and results for patients in the Derbyshire community is now open.
After undergoing an extensive refurbishment, Clinic M at our Derby community hospital site has been transformed into a purpose-built space, which for the first time has allowed all clinical and non-clinical members of the team to be housed in the same area.
Sarah Edwards, MP for Tamworth, visited the new Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) at Sir Robert Peel Community Hospital, to see the cutting-edge facility supporting local residents to get access to diagnostic tests quicker and closer to their home and community.
More than one million people living in Derby and Derbyshire will have access to five Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) by 2025, as part of a national £2.3 billion investment to reduce waiting times and provide care in communities.
