Community Diagnostic Centre, Mansfield
The Mansfield Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) delivers a major step forward in improving access to early diagnosis and reducing pressure on acute hospital sites across the region.
Developed as part of Nottingham & Nottinghamshire ICS’s wider CDC strategy, the new £13m facility provides a dedicated, modern environment for elective diagnostic procedures — helping to meet rising demand and support earlier intervention.
Located on the Mansfield Community Hospital site, the CDC replaces a disused annexe with a purpose‑built, future‑ready building designed in close collaboration with clinical teams. The centre forms Stage 1 of the ICS’s programme, with a larger Nottingham City Centre CDC to follow.
The Mansfield CDC now enables the delivery of approximately 130,000 additional diagnostic tests every year, significantly improving patient flow, reducing waiting times, and bringing vital services closer to home.

Clinically led design shaped around patient experience
Extensive engagement with clinical users informed the layout, adjacencies and operational flow of the building. The design supports safe, efficient diagnostics while creating a calm, welcoming environment for patients and staff.
The principal accommodation includes:
8 Consultation & Examination Rooms
1 Phlebotomy Room
2 Ultrasound Rooms
2 X‑ray Rooms
1 CT Scanner Room
1 MRI Scanner Room
2 Endoscopy Treatment Rooms
These clinical spaces are supported by generous waiting areas, receptions, WC and changing facilities, administration zones, staff offices, utilities and storage. A dedicated substation and generator ensure resilience for critical equipment.
To accommodate future growth, the first floor incorporates void space for expansion, enabling the building to adapt as diagnostic technologies and service needs evolve.
Designed for longevity, efficiency and community impact
The building has been developed in accordance with current Health Technical Memoranda (HTM) and Health Building Notes (HBN), with layouts refined through user workshops to reflect real clinical workflows.
Externally, new hard and soft landscaping enhances the setting and improves the arrival experience for patients and visitors. The result is a highly functional, flexible and sustainable diagnostic hub that strengthens local healthcare provision and supports the NHS’s shift toward preventative, community‑based care.
