Have your say on two new diagnostic buildings in Great Yarmouth
Healthwatch Norfolk is collecting feedback about two new buildings for diagnostic tests, which are currently being built. If you live in Great Yarmouth or the surrounding area or have been a patient at the James Paget University Hospital (JPUH), we want to hear from you. One building will be based on the James Paget University Hospital site (JPUH) and the other building will be based on the Northgate Hospital site. Both of these buildings will be run by clinical staff and teams from the JPUH. The JPUH site will have the latest diagnostic equipment including a CT scanner, MRI, ultrasound and X-ray. The site at Northgate Hospital will have a CT scanner.
These buildings will be called Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs). The aim of CDCs is to increase people’s access to diagnostic tests, which could lead to earlier diagnosis and help to reduce the pressure on hospitals.
We would like to find out:
- What facilities you would like to see at the centres? (e.g. refreshments, waiting rooms, etc.)
- What impact (if any) you think the new CDCs will have on you and the hospital?
- Anything else that needs to be taken into consideration when opening both buildings?
Whether you have had multiple diagnostic scans or have never had one before, your views are important to us.
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
If you would prefer to do this survey with us over the phone, please call Healthwatch Norfolk on 01953 856029 and we will arrange a time to ring you back to complete the survey. Alternatively, please email: enquiries@healthwatchnorfolk.co.uk for further support.
