Earlier this year, Western proudly delivered the Hounsfield Unit at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust – a facility that is already making a major difference to patients and staff alike.
A Boost for Local Diagnostic Services
As part of the West Kent Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC), one of the top ten busiest CDCs in England for test volumes, the Hounsfield Unit significantly enhances local diagnostic capacity. Offering MRI, CT, and blood testing services, the unit is helping to reduce waiting times and accelerate diagnoses for thousands of patients.
Feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the efficiency, professionalism of staff, and the modern, comfortable environment the unit provides.
Supporting National NHS Goals
The project comes at a crucial time. With government initiatives focused on expanding access to faster diagnostics through community diagnostic centres, the Hounsfield Unit is directly aligned with national priorities to reduce elective care waiting times and improve patient outcomes.
By delivering an innovative, high-quality facility, Western is proud to be supporting the NHS in providing quicker, more accurate testing, ensuring patients can access the care they need sooner.
Innovation in Action
This project showcases how Western’s modern construction solutions can deliver critical healthcare facilities rapidly, without compromising on quality. The Hounsfield Unit is not only easing local demand but also stands as an example of how effective partnerships can transform healthcare delivery.
