A multi modality diagnostic facility, the TDC, which opened in 2018, is an excellent example of partnership, collaboration and co- design between Alliance Medical & the NHS. The TDC contains MRI, PET-CT and Nuclear Medicine. It also houses joint Radiology reporting space, meeting rooms and staff rest areas. The TDC has delivered a much needed diagnostic centre for the locality, providing great patient access and a superior patient experience.

We are very proud of the TDC and the partnership we have formed with Alliance Medical to deliver improved diagnostic imaging services to Colchester. The Partnership was founded on developing an open and honest dialogue and through gaining an early understand each other’s objectives and desired outcomes.

Welcome to our new £10 million Integrated Diagnostic Centre at South Tyneside, our friendly, expert teams will serve thousands of patients across the North East and significantly increase scan access and capacity.

The centre is home to two MRI and two CT scanners and the first permanent PET-CT scanner within the Trust, meaning that patients can access specialist scans locally rather than travel to Newcastle or Middlesbrough as they have in the past.

The centre also features a ‘docking’ station for mobile scanners enabling us to meet any further capacity needs and rising demand for scans in the future.
