Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) are 'one-stop shops' designed to provide a better patient experience by having a host of diagnostic facilities and services in one place.
There are two Community Diagnostic Centres located in North East Derbyshire:
- Walton Hospital
- Whitworth Hospital
Services include phlebotomy (blood tests), ultrasound, CT scanning, x-ray, Point of Care Testing, Audiology and Cardio-respiratory. More information about the services available at our CDCs can be found below.
When making your appointment, why not ask to visit a Community Diagnostic Centre? You can receive an appointment quicker or may be able to have multiple tests in one visit. Our CDCs also offer free parking, great public transport links and are located in the community, away from our busy hospital site.
Please do let us know if you are unable to attend your appointment - this could free up a slot for someone else. You can confirm, change or cancel your appointment by contacting our Outpatients appointment helpline which is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm (excluding bank holidays).
To contact us regarding your appointment, call: 01246 516090 or email crhft.
