\n The state-of-the-art centres, which opened last year at the James Paget University Hospital (JPUH) in Gorleston and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in King\u2019s Lynn, were named Best Healthcare Development under \u00a325m at the Building Better Healthcare Awards.\n<\/p>\n
\n The awards celebrate innovation and achievement in the healthcare built environment.\n<\/p>\n
\n Both centres house advanced imaging equipment and offer a range of specialist diagnostic scans \u2014 including MRI, CT, X-ray and ultrasound \u2014 to help diagnose and monitor a variety of conditions.\n<\/p>\n
\n Each site can accommodate up to 40,000 outpatient appointments annually, helping to reduce waiting times and speed up treatment.\n<\/p>\n
\n Chris Bown, interim executive managing director at the QEH, said: \u201cWe are thrilled our fantastic Community Diagnostic Centre has been nationally recognised with this award.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis new facility, which will remain on our site when our new hospital opens in 2032, is just one example of how we are investing in care for our patients now.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Anita Haylett, diagnostic imaging service manager at JPUH, added: \u201cWe are delighted that our Community Diagnostic Centre has received this award, following lots of hard work with partners across the Norfolk Community Diagnostic Programme to deliver this project.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The diagnostic centres at QEH and JPUH are two of three facilities opened across Norfolk and Waveney\u2019s acute hospitals, as part of an \u00a385.9m investment from the Department of Health and Social Care. The third opened at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in February 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n Steven Cotton, director and project lead at LSI Architects, said: \u201cAs a team, we are very proud of our work on the Norfolk Community Diagnostic Programme and have been delighted to receive such positive feedback from staff and patients who have used the new diagnostic centres.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The state-of-the-art centres, which opened last year at the James Paget University Hospital (JPUH) in Gorleston and the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-276929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
