Health planning »
Imaging Matters will take a specification from the NHS or will convert NHS workload requirements and proposed operational policies into a spatial requirement, with clinical and functional adjacencies, embodied in a detailed design brief for the architects.
Operational NHS teams will input into the design to ensure a viable facility, and Imaging Matters will introduce innovation into the final design brief.

LARGE COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE
There is no one size fits all, but Imaging Matters’ developed design for a large community diagnostic centre is easily adapted for local needs at circa 1,900m², ample space to see 150,000 to 200,000 patients per annum.
- The design has heavy imaging on the ground floor, supporting 8 imaging rooms.
- The first floor has space for a 2-treatment room endoscopy, plus phlebotomy chairs and ample consultation and examination rooms for use for cardio-respiratory, non-obstetric ultrasound and other specialty use
- The second floor contains the staff welfare and some of the back office support areas.
A sustainable, living, breathing community diagnostic centre. One which staff can take pride in, with innovative design ideas making it:-
- hospitable rather than hospital
- welcoming rather than austere
- relaxing rather than hectic.
STANDARD COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE
A flexible design allowing for 5 clinical modules, with the possibility to expand it to 7.
Modules have been designed for:-
- MRI scanning
- CT scanning
- ultrasound and plain x-ray
- phlebotomy
- cardio-respiratory.
The mix and match of this, is fully supported by the support accommodation.
The flythrough shows the quality of the concept design (link).
The interactive plan will give an overview of the style of the community diagnostic centre. (Link).
LITE COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE
This is a flexible design with the potential to have just three clinical modules from the designs within the standard community diagnostic centre.
