🌟 New Community Diagnostic Centre opens in Croydon! 🌟

Thousands of local residents will now benefit from faster access to vital tests and scans as Croydon’s newest Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) officially opens in New Addington.

Thanks to a £14m investment, the centre delivers a wide range of diagnostic services closer to home, including:

🩻 X-ray
🩺 Ultrasound
🧪 CT scans
❤️ Cardiology
🌬️ Respiratory testing

The site also includes a GP practice run by Bourne Health, offering more joined‑up care and easier access to primary care appointments.

We were pleased to welcome a number of guests who joined us to mark this important milestone, including:

• Yemisi Gibbons, Chair of Croydon Health Services NHS Trust
• Matthew Kershaw, Chief Executive and Place Based Leader for Health
• Omar Din, Chief Executive Officer, Bourne Health
• Wes Streeting, Health and Social Care Secretary
• Natasha Irons, MP for Croydon East
• The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Croydon

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped celebrate the opening. The new CDC represents a significant step forward in improving early diagnosis, reducing waiting times and providing more accessible, community‑based healthcare for residents.

This launch forms part of wider investment in local health services, including Croydon’s role as one of 43 national pilot sites for neighbourhood health and the development of a new health centre in the south of the borough to increase access to GP appointments.

🎄💌 Thank you to The Sun on Sunday – Christmas Cards for Kids campaign 💌🎄

While Christmas may be over, the joy it brings is still being felt across our hospital. We’d like to thank The Sun on Sunday for coming to Croydon University Hospital and helping us create such special moments for our young patients and their families.

Eight-year-old Amara Afflick-Gill rang the end-of-treatment bell with Santa by her side, surrounded by family and friends, including her mum Lynette. “I am so excited,” Amara said.

At the same hospital, Enzo Morley, nine, now in remission after twice beating leukaemia, shared a much-needed hug with Father Christmas — a moment that meant so much to everyone there.

We’re also grateful that funds from the campaign will support The Azaylia Foundation, the cancer charity set up by Safiyya Vorajee and Ashley Cain in memory of their daughter Azaylia.

Thank you for bringing smiles, comfort and lasting joy to our patients — reminding us that the spirit of Christmas doesn’t end when the decorations come down. 💛✨

Coming soon: the CQC Maternity
Survey 2026

Over the coming months, some people who’ve recently had a baby will be invited to take part in the CQC Maternity Survey 2026.
This survey is an important way for parents and birthing people to share their experiences of maternity care — what worked well, what felt hard, and what could be better.
It’s:
- Independent
- Confidential
- Used to help improve maternity services locally and nationally

If you’re invited to take part, we really encourage you to have your say. Your experiences matter, and they help shape care for future families

We’ll share more information here when the survey opens.

Germs can spread easily, so it's important that through the current surge of flu you are following cough etiquette to help keep others safe.

Remember to 'Catch it - Bin it - Kill it', always keeping tissues on you to catch your cough or sneeze.

Germs can live for several hours, so be sure to dispose of your used tissue properly and as soon as possible.

There is currently a surge in flu cases in the community and hospital. Our priority is to help keep your loved ones safe, so we are encouraging patients and visitors to wear surgical masks.

You should also practice good hand hygiene and follow cough etiquette, remembering to 'Catch it - Bin it - Kill it'.

We also ask that you avoid visiting if you have a cough, flu-like symptoms, or diarrhoea and vomiting. This is to help keeping your loved ones safe by preventing the spread of the flu virus.
