Over 55,000 patients visited hub in first year
The Journal
|October 27, 2025
In just a year, more than 55,000 NHS patients have been seen for vital tests and scans at the Metrocentre.
That's in the time since the pioneering community diagnostic centre (CDC) opened in the old House of Fraser unit at the Gateshead shopping centre.
The CDC offers a range of tests and scans - from MRIs, to blood tests and even sleep studies - and it is open seven days a week. The idea was to bring such tests out of hospital and to a convenient location for the people of the North East and it is now hoped that additional services can be added.
One patient, Gateshead's Margaret Wilson, 65, has been a regular visitor for blood tests. She said: "I have been coming to the CDC for six months for regular blood tests. It is easy to get to, and if I am early, I get seen straight away, no waiting around. It's a great place, and I grab a coffee when I'm done and have a look around the shops."
