High Standards

When you need healthcare buildings that meet the high standards expected by your patients, Hygieia has the solution. We have the modular buildings, equipment, and expertise to develop complete Diagnostic Centres equipped to serve the needs of your community

Our experienced Healthcare design teams have meticulously designed and developed a Small, Medium, and Large version CDC. These standard formats have been developed to utilise Hygiria’s platform design modular solution…we have done the hard work so you don’t have to.

Beautiful buildings made easy

Our innovative modular space solutions are suitable for highly constrained sites, minimizing disruption to hospital sites and surrounding communities. Sites that are completely inaccessible for traditional construction can be developed effectively. The very nature of a modular building is to minimise disruption on site, reduce the amount of work and trades on site, and provide a high-quality cost-effective building solution.

Our CDCs are robust and the end product is comparable to any kind of traditional building. We have opted for subtle pallets of materials from internal finishes to external façade treatment, blending functional needs with aesthetic qualities to support the treatment of patients, and the needs of clients, planners, and local communities

Consistent quality

The platform design is key to our standard Diagnostic building. Each Diagnostic Centre, delivered anywhere in your healthcare catchment area, ensures consistent quality through the efficient pre-designed chassis for the modular elements. This approach significantly reduces the time and cost involved in bringing a site into full operation

Lean manufacturing and Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) through our standard platform design are central to our approach. DfMA focuses on reducing time-to-market and total production costs by prioritising the utilisation of a standard kit of parts with a de-skilled assembly operation. A DfMA-led approach aids with material optimization to minimise waste. We work with key supply chain partners to bring forward the best products to support the greener credentials of our buildings. Buildings are assembled according to our strict quality process in line with our approved, audited, and accredited procedures Getting it right the first time, every time.

Customer satisfaction – on time, on budget

How good are we? Ask our customers. Based track record of building modular units our clients are encouraged to provide feedback after every project delivery. We use the Net Promoter score to assess satisfaction. The results, to put it mildly, are outstanding. We are consistently scoring an industry-leading NPS score of 100 for some of our long-standing, bluechip clients.

What we can deliver

The creation of CDCs was recommended following Professor Sir Mike Richards’ Review of NHS diagnostics capacity. The recommendation was that NHS organisations across England move to provide diagnostic services in Diagnostic Centres (DCs). All health systems are expected to include a network of DCs as part of their health services offer.

The DCs will allow patients to access planned diagnostic care nearer to home without the need to attend acute hospital sites. These services would be separate from urgent diagnostic scan facilities, which means shorter waiting times and a reduced risk of cancellation (which can happen when more urgent cases take priority). CDCs provide a single point of access to a range of services in the community and support more joined-up care across primary, community, and secondary care.

The purpose of the CDC is to provide:

• Imaging: CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Plain X-ray, and Mammography.
• Physiological measurement: Echocardiography (ECHO), Electrocardiogram (ECG), including 24-hour and longer tape recordings of heart rhythm monitoring, ambulatory
  blood pressure monitoring, oximetry spirometry including reversibility testing for inhaled bronchodilators, Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), full lung function
  tests, blood gas analysis via Point of Care Testing (POCT), and simple field tests (e.g. six min walk test).
• Pathology: phlebotomy, Point of Care Testing, simple biopsies, NT-Pro BNP, urine testing and D-dimer testing.
• Large CDCs must provide endoscopy services including Gastroscopy, Colonoscopy, Flexi sigmoidoscopy

High-quality buildings,
rapidly constructed

At Hygieia we offer a range of three standard sizes for CDCs: small medium and large. In addition, we can deliver bespoke buildings where needed. Whatever size you need, you can be sure of the quality of the building. As a team, we provide a full design, delivery, construction, and finishing service, so that you can start using your CDC from Day One. This includes all services, including specialised electronics needed for sensitive imaging equipment.

All sizes can be stacked or combined in multiple units to expand the diagnostic capacity of the site where they are located. Because our permanent modular healthcare buildings can be constructed quickly and efficiently, our CDCs can help to relieve the pressure on both space and waiting lists. Despite the rapid speed of construction and delivery, there’s no compromise on quality.

Every CDC is constructed to the same high standards and meticulously quality-checked
at the factory. Working with us helps you to make financial and operational plans with complete confidence that everything will be delivered on time and on budget. Because, with us, you know exactly how long it will take to manufacture and commission a new CDC.
We understand precisely what you need to deliver under the Healthcare Infrastructure Plan and your estates’ strategy so that we can help you optimise all of your facilities.

Our CDCs meet the requirements of the latest Health Building Notes and Health Technical Memoranda. They are also comfortable, attractive, and hygienic spaces for both staff and patients. Our factory production processes make it easier to achieve high-quality control
standards, resulting in fewer issues on-site and a more sustainable and safe building process.

We are currently members of the NHS SBS Modular Buildings Frameworks and are well-versed in the healthcare sector.
