Plan for second diagnostics unit in 'health village'
The Herald
|September 27, 2025
A SECOND community diagnostics centre is being planned for the centre of Plymouth, giving thousands more people the chance to have tests, scans and checks closer to home.
University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust said it was “working on a business case” for another centre in a “similar position” as the £22 million one currently being constructed at Colin Campbell Court and due to open next summer.
More details on the second centre are set to be revealed next week.
At a meeting of the trust board on Wednesday, deputy chief executive of the trust Sarah Brampton said it was really positive to see the ‘topping out’ ceremony take place earlier this month, to celebrate the structural completion of the first community diagnostics centre for the city.
