Enter and View Report Of the Community Diagnostic Centre, The Glass Works, Barnsley

On the 27 November 2024 we visited the Community Diagnostic Centre (referred to as the CDC from this point onwards) at the Glass Works, Barnsley to perform an Enter and View inspection.


Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust operates this service and it opened in April 2022. The CDC is located in the heart of the Glass Works shopping centre and offers a range of diagnostic services including CT scans, ultrasounds, X-ray, and blood services. 

Since opening, the centre has seen an increase in the uptake of breast screening appointments by 22%.

The success of the CDC and its location has paved the way for the new “Health on the High Street” initiative, which will see other health and care services being delivered from a new health and wellbeing hub located within the Alhambra Shopping Centre.
