Wembley Community Diagnostic Centre
After being appointed in December 2022, following competitive tender, IML supported NWLICB and Imperial Healthcare in successfully opening the facility a little over 12 months later. From redesigning the intial general arrangement, making it more affordable without losing clinical efficacy, to managing the planning approval, to clearing the site and fully managing the construction, M&E fitout, commissioning and installation of 4 scanners, IML delivered, on time and on budget.
Officially opened by Professor Sir Mike Richards in February 2024, The Wembley CDC makes a huge positive impact to over 50,000 patients each year, delivering critical diagnostic tests away from busy, crowded acute hospital sites where parking and access are difficult. The Wembley CDC is well served by local bus and tube connections – a genuine ‘Community’ facility, perfectly aligning with the vision of the Richards Report.








“I would like to say a big thank you to all involved at Imaging Matters, Medular and the many other teams you used in the project – they have delivered a fantastic facility for the benefit of patients / the population within North West London and have done so in challenging circumstances in a very short period of time – they should be proud of their collective contributions. Please do not major too hard on the areas for improvement, but instead takes these as learning in what was overall a very successful partnership. Everyone told me it couldn’t be done – but we did it!”
