Community Diagnostic Centre at Sulis Hospital

Diagnosing life-changing conditions more quickly.

The new Community Diagnostic Centre programme is part of a nationwide initiative to enhance access to essential medical tests. The aim of the programme is to provide NHS patients with earlier diagnoses for a range of conditions such as heart and lung disease and cancer.

The programme provides a range of planned diagnostic procedures such as checks, scans and tests, allowing patients to be seen quicker and closer to home.
