Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust’s CDC is located within the Broad Street Plaza complex in central Halifax. The CDC provides access to numerous planned diagnostic tests for patients across Calderdale. These include x-rays, ultrasounds, CT, and MRI scans, as well as other diagnostic testing, including blood pressure and heart monitoring.

The CDC is easily accessible to patients in the centre of Halifax, close to numerous car parks and a five-minute walk from Halifax Bus Station.

The new building is equipped with modern facilities and state-of-the-art equipment. It is easily accessible to patients in the centre of Halifax, close to numerous car parks and a five-minute walk from Halifax Bus Station.

Patients will access the CDC through referral by their GP or other hospital service, bringing care closer to home and, in some cases, removing the need to visit a hospital setting entirely.

Within a typical week, more than 1,500 tests are carried out at the centre. This is typically over 400 drop-in bloods tests per week (7days per week), 500 X-Rays, 200 CT scans, over 100 US scans and 50 ECHOs.
