The establishment of a spoke CDC site at 12 Museum Street, Ipswich, aims to significantly enhance healthcare services in the East Suffolk locality.

This new facility will provide essential diagnostic services, including but not limited to: MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Phlebotomy and others, which are crucial for the early diagnosis of complex health issues. By refurbishing the property to suit these services, the NHS aims to reduce clinical waiting times and lessen the strain on existing healthcare services.

This initiative aligns with the NHS’s current goals for preventative healthcare, ensuring that patients receive faster and more convenient access to tests and scans, ultimately improving patient health diagnosis. The refurbishment will include remodelling the space to achieve a ratio of 75% clinical and 25% non-clinical space, ensuring that the facility is optimised for patient care.

Staff provisions will include showers, changing rooms, and a staff rest area with a kitchenette, creating a supportive environment for healthcare professionals. The new CDC spoke site is designed to serve the East Suffolk locality, operating seven days a week and accommodating up to 250 patients per day, with an annual capacity in the region of 90,000 scans. This project not only aims to improve productivity and efficiency within the NHS but also to provide a more streamlined and effective healthcare service for the community.
