£23m Lincoln Community Diagnostic Centre opens

More NHS diagnostic services are now available in Lincoln, with the opening of a new £23m facility on Lincoln Science and Innovation Park.

The Lincoln Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) is run by the same teams as Lincolnshire’s NHS hospitals, but offers an alternative venue to access vital diagnostic tests quickly and easily, away from busy hospitals.

The state-of-the-art facilities include MRI, CT, non-obstetric ultrasound, X-ray and echocardiograms. Patients can also access physiological testing, such as blood testing, ECGs, spirometry and FeNO testing, which is being provided in partnership with Lincoln Healthcare Partnership Primary Care Network – a group of local GP practices.

Services at the CDC can be accessed with referral from hospital or a GP. The first patients to use the Lincoln CDC attended for CT scans.

Patient Sarah Williamson, from Navenby, said: “It’s a really lovely building, even the light panels in the ceiling look great and make it feel welcoming. The free parking makes a difference as it takes away any worry about finding a parking space.

“It’s quite exciting to be the very first patient here and the energy of the staff really shows too, they seem excited to be here.”

The dual contract for construction of both Skegness and Lincoln CDCs has been delivered by Modern Methods of Construction specialist MTX Contracts Ltd.

MTX Managing Director David Hartley said: “We have been privileged to partner with the Trust to deliver this dual contract for Community Diagnostic Centres at Lincoln and Skegness that will have such a huge impact on waiting lists and significantly improve the patient experience.

“Our hard-won experience designing and delivering fully compliant NHS facilities combined with our use of Modern Methods of Construction and offsite manufacturing enables us to create these vital units faster, greener, safer and more cost effectively than conventional building processes, with no compromise in quality.

“Working concurrently on the two projects presented additional challenges for our team, but at MTX we view every project as a learning opportunity to continually improve the service and value we can offer our NHS Trust partners.”
