Planning Approval for new Community Diagnostics Centre in Workington
Planning Approval for new Community Diagnostics Centre in Workington
23 October 2023
P+HS are proud to announce that planning has been approved for a new Community Diagnostics Centre in Workington, Cumbria.
The two-storey building will
provide diagnostics services, including MRI, CT, X-Ray and services such as ultrasound and lung function testing. The key focus is on prevention for
patients to avoid them becoming unwell, building services together in our communities
and to a high standard of quality, sustainable care. As well as targeting
BREEAM Excellent, the design criteria focuses on placemaking with a
contemporary material palette that references the surrounding context and site
constraints, which aids with legibility and wayfinding.
Working closely with North
Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, alongside a comprehensive team of
consultants, the proposals have been developed by P+HS to accommodate a new,
purpose-built facility, to help reduce wait lists and provide a much-needed
community asset in a suitable location.
