The mobile scanning unit at Colin Campbell Court, provided in partnership with TIC Imaging and University Hospitals Plymouth, will be closing on 30 August after providing CT scans for NHS patients for the last three years. The temporary mobile scanner was opened in October 2023 during the construction of the new Community Diagnostic Centre.

The team working at the temporary scanner have provided a valuable service to NHS patients over the past three years. Their professionalism, dedication and friendly approach have helped make what can often be an anxious experience as comfortable and straightforward as possible for patients.

Patient, Gemma Axell, who has attended the mobile scanner regularly, said: “It was great to have a medical appointment at somewhere other than Derriford Hospital, since my diagnosis of Melanoma and undergoing a year of treatment and many follow ups it’s been nice to have a change of scenery with very easy parking.

“The staff have always provided a friendly welcome with a clear idea of waiting time. One member of the team in particular, Innocent Nyoni, was always incredibly friendly and helpful, making patients feel at ease. I would like to thank the team for looking after me so well and making my visits as easy and quick as possible. I was often back in my car and driving home before I knew it.”

The new Community Diagnostic Centre officially opened in June 2026 and now provides diagnostic services seven days a week, offering patients access to diagnostic testing in a dedicated facility in Plymouth City Centre.
