High point as new centre topped out
The Herald
|September 22, 2025
A CITY centre diagnostic centre which will provide vital diagnostic tests, scans, and checks including CT, MRI scans, X-rays and ultrasounds has had its topping out ceremony.
The new Plymouth Community Diagnostic Centre at Colin Campbell Court has been built to its highest point.
It’s a significant step in the delivery of the £22 million project, which saw staff and representatives involved in the development joined by colleagues from construction partner BAM and commissioning body NHS England gather alongside local MPs and Plymouth City councillors to mark the occasion.
The Community Diagnostic Centre will provide a wide range of vital diagnostic tests, scans, and checks including CT, MRI scans, X-rays and ultrasounds in a convenient community-based setting. By offering these services outside of Derriford Hospital, the centre will help patients receive faster diagnoses closer to home, reducing waiting times and supporting earlier treatment.
Located in Plymouth's city centre, the new facility will operate seven days a week. Benefiting from strong transport links and ample nearby parking, it will provide convenient and accessible services for people across the city and the wider region.
