Tens of thousands of patients across Hull have benefited from faster NHS diagnostic testing as a key city centre facility marks its first anniversary this month. The Hull Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) opened its doors in September 2025.
Since then, the purpose-built facility on Albion Street in Hull city centre has welcomed more than 73,500 patients for a range of diagnostic tests and investigations. Designed to bring diagnostic services out of busy hospital settings and directly into the heart of the community, the centre has made appointments far easier to access while significantly increasing diagnostic capacity across the region.
Over the last 12 months, the centre has delivered more than 50,000 imaging appointments, including 12,859 MRI scans, 21,780 CT scans, 7,134 ultrasound examinations, and 8,487 X-rays. In addition, staff have completed 17,428 pathology and phlebotomy appointments alongside more than 2,500 physiological sciences investigations.
These services play a vital role in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. By enabling earlier diagnoses, the centre helps patients begin treatment sooner and improves long-term health outcomes.

Many attending the centre are able to have multiple diagnostic tests completed during a single visit, creating a streamlined experience and reducing the need for several appointments across different locations. Leah Stabler, CDC General Manager with NHS Humber Health Partnership, said: “The Hull & ER CDC has received excellent feedback from patients in terms of access to appointments, the environment and the speed of the appointment on the day.
“Patients have found the CDC easy to access due to the location and staff enjoy the relaxed environment it provides not only for them working within the building but for the patients also. We continue to review services for patients that would benefit being in a community setting, liaising with GP and external partners to look at pathways for patients.”
