A new medical diagnostic centre has been officially opened and is welcoming its first patients.It is hoped it will reduce patient-wait times for scans, after it was revealed in May that there were more than 58,000 people on waiting lists in Cornwall.
Emma Spouse, of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, said: "It will make a real difference for patients".Image caption,It has been set up by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, the hospitals trust and the NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board. The centre forms part of a strategy to locate community diagnostic centres away from acute hospital sites.
Ms Spouse, diagnostic imaging lead, said: "The Bodmin CDC provides a calm, outpatient scanning environment that also alleviates our hard-pressed acute and emergency diagnostic imaging services on the Royal Cornwall Hospital site at Treliske in Truro."Digital technology and connectivity ensures that expert advice and opinion is immediately available to the Bodmin CDC clinical staff, supporting our services on this site to meet exemplary standards.
