New NHS Community Diagnostic Centre set to open in Peterborough this autumn

Construction of the brand new facility – which is located on Wellington Street in Eastgate – began in August, 2025.

Along with cardiology and respiratory diagnostic services, the new facility will boast CT, MRI, Dexa, X-ray, ultrasound and fibroscan capabilities.

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust (NWAFT) believes the CDC will help it achieve its aims to improve the overall delivery of diagnostic testing across the region:

“Offering diagnostic services in the community very much aligns with our strategy at NWAFT, as well as the NHS 10 Year Plan,” said Deputy Chief Executive, Charlotte Williams.

In addition, Ms Williams said the new centre will also help to reduce patient waiting times for clinical investigation:

“It will improve the time in which we can see patients, as well as getting a diagnosis quicker for those who need further treatment,” she said.

A part two-storey and part three-storey building, the new CDC replaces the disused City Health Clinic, which was demolished.
