Community update on 'milestone' new hospital centre

Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Trust is inviting residents to two sessions

A new community diagnostic centre is set to be built at a hospital in West Sussex and residents are being invited to find out more before construction begins.

Queen Victoria Hospital (QVH) NHS Trust said its hospital in East Grinstead would benefit from the centre thanks to a "significant" investment from NHS England.

The trust said: "Having a dedicated community diagnostic centre building onsite is a milestone for QVH and will enable us to help reduce the amount of time patients wait for a diagnosis and treatment."

Residents have been invited to the hospital for two sessions that will update people on the project and its potential benefits.

The two one-hour sessions will be held at the education centre in the main hospital building on 22 July at 15:00 BST and 18:00.

The trust had planned for the single-storey building to be up and running by April 2026.
