The Wye Valley Diagnostic Centre will bring the latest, state-of-the-art MRI, CT, X-ray and Ultrasound equipment to be located on Hereford’s Holmer Road, which will allow Wye Valley NHS Trust staff to diagnose cancer and other health conditions earlier and with greater accuracy.
The centre will also provide:
- X-Ray facility
- CT scanner
- MRI
- Ultrasound
- Echocardiography
- Cardiac and respiratory physiology
- Phlebotomy
