Contractor named for Nottingham community healthcare facility

Henry Brothers has been appointed to build the new Broad Marsh Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in Nottingham.

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, Managing Director of Henry Brothers, said: “We are proud to have been appointed as part of the team delivering the new CDC, 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.”

Health Minister, Karin Smyth said: “The project will make a real difference to patients, delivering faster diagnoses and helping reduce waiting times, all closer to home.

“Its location, in Nottingham city centre, will make getting tests, checks or scans simpler and more convenient, something we’re replicating across the country through centres like this one.”

Ben Bowley, Director at Leonard Design (the project’s architect), said: “It has been a pleasure working with the project team to design this new facility for NUH. As a Nottingham based consultancy it is very important to us to be able work with local stakeholders to positively contribute to transforming our local area through a collaborative design process.”

The CDC will open in late 2026 and once it is at full capacity, it 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.
