The Practice has been appointed to design and deliver the new Peterborough Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) on Wellington Street. Moving essential diagnostic capabilities out of traditional acute hospital settings and into a central, purpose-built facility plays a key role in reducing NHS waiting times, accelerating time-to-diagnosis, and providing accessible care directly within the community.
Once operational, the Peterborough CDC will deliver a broad spectrum of diagnostic services within a modern, purpose-designed environment. The state-of-the-art facility will house Advanced Imaging suites (CT, MRI, DEXA, X-Ray, and Ultrasound), Specialist Diagnostics (Cardiology, Respiratory, and Fibroscan services), as well as Primary Testing areas offering Phlebotomy services with direct pathology integration.
By shifting elective diagnostic pathways into an accessible community setting, the facility relieves pressure on local acute departments while optimising patient and staff flow. The design accommodates the complex technical requirements, radiation shielding, power infrastructure, and precise environmental controls necessary to support heavy diagnostic equipment, delivering a high-capacity, efficient, and welcoming diagnostic environment right in the heart of the community.
