Community Diagnostic Centres

Our Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in Halifax is now open.

Located in the Broad Street building in central Halifax, the CDC provides community access to numerous planned diagnostic tests for patients across Calderdale. These include x-rays, ultrasounds, CT, and MRI scans, as well as other diagnostic testing, including blood pressure and heart monitoring.

Outpatient diagnostic tests are also still available at Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

The new building is equipped with modern facilities and state-of-the-art equipment. It is easily accessible to patients in the centre of Halifax, close to numerous car parks and a five-minute walk from Halifax Bus Station.

The Centre is not a walk-in facility. Patients will access services at the CDC through referral by their GP or other hospital service, bringing care closer to home and, in some cases, removing the need to visit a hospital setting entirely.

Work is also underway to deliver a Community Diagnostic Centre on the University of Huddersfield campus, in a first-of-its-kind partnership. The new Huddersfield CDC is due to open in 2026.
