We’re excited to share the latest progress from the Slough Community Diagnostic Centre, where modular construction is enabling a faster, more efficient path to delivering vital healthcare services.
As the principal contractor on behalf of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Western is proud to be delivering this purpose-built facility using modern construction techniques tailored for the healthcare sector.
Supporting the NHS Through Modern Methods of Construction
The demand for timely and accessible diagnostic services continues to grow, and healthcare infrastructure must evolve to meet this need. Modular construction offers a powerful solution—allowing us to reduce build times, minimise disruption, and maintain the high standards required in clinical environments.
At Slough CDC, precision-engineered modules are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site with minimal interruption, ensuring quicker programme delivery and improved quality control. This approach also supports environmental goals, with less waste and more energy-efficient building processes.
Bringing Services Closer to the Community
Once complete, the Slough Community Diagnostic Centre will house state-of-the-art facilities that bring essential diagnostic services—including imaging and testing—closer to the people who need them. By easing pressure on acute hospital sites, the centre supports a more sustainable and patient-focused model of care.
At Western, we believe in building smarter to support better outcomes—for patients, communities, and healthcare providers alike. The Slough CDC project is just one example of how modern methods of construction can deliver real, lasting value to the NHS and beyond.
Stay tuned for more updates as this important project continues to take shape.
