The two companies are collaborating on a CDC at Poole Hospital to expand University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust’s (UHD) endoscopy services

Plans are now underway to expand University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust’s (UHD) endoscopy services at Poole Hospital with the creation of a new, state-of-the-art community diagnostic centre.

The centre has been designed by P+HS Architects, a UK-based architect that specialises in healthcare and residential design in collaboration with Premier Modular, a UK-based offsite modular building specialist.

A comprehensive public consultation process, including input from local residents and special interest groups, helped shape the building’s layout and design.

Constructed using the latest modular technology, the unit will be constructed on the current Parkview House site

The result is a design that balances therapeutic and practical needs, incorporating efficient clinical patient flows within a welcoming, human-scaled environment.

The nature-connected space offers patients and staff framed views of the surrounding landscape, promoting a sense of calm and wellbeing.

The £21m development is a cornerstone of Dorset Integrated Care System’s long-term vision for the Community Diagnostic Centres programme, following a 'hub and spoke' model to improve elective diagnostics.

Demolition is scheduled to begin in November

UHD Consultant Gastroenterologist and the Dorset Integrated Care System (ICS) Lead for Endoscopy, Dr Suranga Dharmasiri, said: " As we enter the construction phase, we’re excited to see our vision come to life. The new centre will enable us to treat more patients, reduce waiting times, enhance patient experiences, and train the next generation of endoscopy professionals in Dorset."

Constructed using the latest modular technology, the unit will be constructed on the current Parkview House site, featuring six procedure rooms with the potential for future expansion as a training centre.

A training room and seminar room have already been incorporated into the ground floor plans.

Demolition is scheduled to begin in November, with the project expected to be completed by Autumn 2025.
