Plymouth Community Diagnostic Centre

The location in the city’s West End, one of the more deprived areas of Plymouth, is key as it means we can offer high quality diagnostics tests to people close to where they live, making it easier for them to attend appointments. We know that access to good, early diagnostics is key because having those tests early and getting an early diagnosis means people have a greater chance of a better outcome when there is something wrong. This should therefore reduce health inequities for those living in areas of greater deprivation and improve overall health outcomes in Plymouth.

The temporary CT scanner will be provided by TIC Healthcare. TIC Healthcare have been providing CT scanning services on behalf of the University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust since 2021.

Plans are underway to prepare for the opening of a temporary CT scanner unit on the site by the end of September, while the design and build of the permanent building, also at Colin Campbell Court, continues. CT scans involve a series of x-rays which have incredible accuracy and allow Radiologists to detect disease or injury as early as possible. The benefits include reducing the need for exploratory surgeries, improving cancer diagnosis, and helping to determine treatment of injury, cardiac disease and stroke.

• The modular CT scanner has waiting facilities attached including an accessible toilet
• The scanner is wheelchair accessible
• The scanner is staffed by qualified HCPC registered CT radiographers, a healthcare assistant and a receptionist
• CT scans occasionally use a special dye called CT contrast. If this is required you will be cannulated (a small tube placed in a vein) on the unit by a qualified member of staff
• The CT scanner is a state of the art scanner and is capable of high quality diagnostic images. Your diagnosis will NOT be affected by being seen in the modular CT scanner
