From Monday 28 April, the first patients will be attending appointments for CT scans at the brand-new Northgate Community Diagnostic Centre on Northgate Street, Great Yarmouth.
The new facility is run by staff from the James Paget, and is located in the former Cranbrook Building on the Northgate Hospital site, managed by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
Patients referred for a CT scan may now be invited to appointments at Northgate Community Diagnostic Centre as an alternative location to scans provided at the main James Paget Hospital site in Gorleston. Northgate CDC will offer CT scan appointments Monday to Friday between 8am and 8pm.
Northgate Community Diagnostic Centre is being opened in a phased approach so that patients can access CT scans in a new extension to the building, while remaining works take place in the original part of the building.
While construction continues on the building, access to the CT suite will be through a clearly signposted temporary entrance, and staff will be on hand to guide patients to their appointments.
Phase 2 is due to open in July 2025, bringing a wider range of diagnostic services including Cardiac Physiology and Respiratory Physiology closer to where people live in Great Yarmouth.
