Contractor Henry Brothers Construction has been appointed to build the new Broad Marsh Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in Nottingham, where enabling work is due to start on Lister Gate at the end of this month.
This key stage in the programme follows the formal signing of contracts between Homes England – the new landlords of the site – and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) – who will run and staff the centre.
The new NHS facility is one of a number of CDCs being funded by the Department for Health and Social Care, which aim to improve population health outcomes and efficiency, as well as reduce waiting times and health inequalities.
Ian Taylor, MD of Henry Brothers Construction, said: “Henry Brothers Construction is proud to have been appointed as part of the team delivering the new Community Diagnostic Centre which is being created in the heart of the Broad Marsh regeneration development in the centre of Nottingham.
“Henry Brothers has wide experience of delivering exciting public sector schemes in the health sector and we look forward to working closely with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust to develop this CDC which will play an important role in reducing the backlog of patients waiting for diagnostic tests.”
Arup are the structural and civil engineers on the scheme, which has been designed by Leonard Design.
The CDC will open in 2026 and once at full capacity will provide up to 140,000 appointments annually. It is also expected to create 75 new jobs across a range of disciplines including consultant radiologists, radiographers, imaging assistants, physiologists and administrators. When the unit is at full capacity it will employ 135 staff.
