NHS bosses said the centre in Skegness reduced the need for some patients to take a 40-mile round trip to Boston’s Pilgrim Hospital.<\/p>\n
The joint project was awarded a gold national CDC of the Year title at the Building Better Healthcare Awards 2025.<\/p>\n
“The award itself is quite exceptional”, Ms Nelson said.<\/p>\n
“We’re very proud of it because we built those two CDCs, which cost \u00a338m within 40 weeks.”<\/p>\n
The centres in Skegness and Lincoln opened on 25 November and 16 December 2024. They have seen 30,000 and 70,000 patients respectively.<\/p>\n
“The CDCs are an example of how to get it right,” Ms Nelson said.<\/p>\n
The trust is also building a CDC in Boston, which will open at the end of March 2026.<\/p>\n
“Free car parking, an environment placed in the right area and certainly the one which we’re going to build in Boston will make a massive impact,” Ms Nelson added.<\/p>\n
