Three new community diagnostic centres have opened across Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire since the beginning of 2023.

The three new centres can be found at the following locations:

  • Sulis Hospital, Bath
  • West Swindon Health Centre
  • Salisbury Central Health Clinic

Each of the new sites provide a range of diagnostic services, including CT and MRI scans, X-rays, cardiac and respiratory testing, ultrasound procedures and endoscopy (Sulis only, with Swindon from Summer 2025).

The three sites will be able to provide more than 90,000 additional tests and investigations, which will support quicker diagnoses.

GPs can now refer patients directly to the CDCs for certain investigations, such as spirometry and CT and MRI scans. Access to other testing is available through a referral by a GP to one of the region's three acute hospitals.

National funding has been awarded to the ICB to deliver the three sites.
