Livingstone Community Hospital, part of Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust, has opened the interim Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) to patients throughout Dartford.
Compleo Health, a CQC (Care, Quality, Commission) registered diagnostic imaging services provider, has supplied the new interim CDC with 1 relocatable CT unit, 1 relocatable MRI unit, and 2 support units.
These units are set to serve until the permanent CDC is operational in 2025.
