The Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) at Congleton War Memorial Hospital is a new facility designed to provide a range of diagnostic tests and services closer to home. This centre, funded with £5 million from the NHS England community diagnostics programme, aims to offer a 'one-stop shop' for various diagnostic needs.
The centre opened in December 2025 and includes seven clinic rooms, a state-of-the-art X-ray suite, and welcoming patient areas with amenities designed for comfort and accessibility. It provides a wide range of diagnostic tests and services, helping to reduce waiting times and support early detection of health conditions.
Services include imaging (X-ray and Non-Obstetric Ultrasound), as well as cardio-respiratory physiological testing such as Electrocardiography (ECG), Echocardiograms, and other specialist tests.
Comprising 13 modular units, the building was designed and constructed by Premier Modular, ensuring a high-quality, sustainable solution that will serve the community for generations to come.
