Community Diagnostic Hubs: Call for evidence and exemplars |
Professor Sir Mike Richards’ independent review of NHS diagnostic services, published in October 2020, Diagnostics: Recovery and Renewal, sets out the case for increasing diagnostic capacity in England and for a new model of diagnostic service provision.
One key recommendation is for the rapid establishment of Community Diagnostic Hubs (CDHs), which will provide a range of elective diagnostic services away from acute facilities, offering quicker, easier and more convenient access to tests and relieving pressure on acute sites.
To inform the development of CDHs, we are seeking responses to this survey to learn from evidence and exemplar sites nationally and internationally. It should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. If you would prefer to complete the survey as a telephone interview please contact Iona.tinker@uclpartners.com.
