A drop-in session is being held on proposals to build a new £25m NHS community diagnostics centre in Plymouth.

The facility, proposed to be built at Colin Campbell Court, aims to reduce some of the health inequalities in the city centre and reduce pressure on Derriford Hospital.

Tests would include MRI, CT, X-ray, lung cancer screening, ultrasound, audiology, ECG, point of care testing and blood tests, health bosses said.

It is hoped the facility would fully open in April 2025.

The drop-in session is at the Guildhall between 12:00 and 19:00 GMT.
