The Brief

To deliver a high quality community diagnostic centre, expanding hospital facilities.

Originally built in 1924, Congleton War Memorial Hospital, in Cheshire, provides a range of local healthcare outpatient services to the residents of Congleton and surrounding areas.

The hospital has a rich history, having originally been paid for by the local community as a memorial to the 243 local people killed in the First World War and is a much-valued community asset. Now over a century old, the hospital can no longer manage demand, resulting in limited services being available and pressure mounting on existing facilities to accommodate patients.

As part of the NHS Community Diagnostics Programme, the hospital was awarded funding to build a brand new community diagnostic centre (CDC) in place of an older building that was due for demolition. The new CDC needed to provide a high quality facility for patient diagnostics, as well as link seamlessly to the existing hospital building to provide more services onsite within the same footprint.

After winning the project through a competitive tender, Premier Modular was appointed by the East Cheshire NHS Trust to design and deliver Congleton’s CDC.
