A groundbreaking ceremony has officially marked the start of a significant construction project at the heart of Boston to create a new £24.9 million community diagnostic centre.

Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group Chief Executive Professor Karen Dunderdale was joined by Boston Borough Council Leader Councillor Dale Broughton, MTX Contracts representative Chris Dodd and the Lincolnshire Community Diagnostics Centre Programme Estates Director, Alistair Nelson, to break ground on the former Boston United football ground on York Street.

The event signals the start of 20 weeks of demolition work. Once the ground is cleared, construction will begin on the building, which will include two new MRI scanners, two new CT scanners, X-ray facilities, three ultrasound rooms, a DEXA scanner, a further eight consultation rooms and dedicated space for audiology services.

It is expected Boston Community Diagnostic Centre will support up to 70,000 patients with diagnostic testing and other clinics each year.

The Boston Community Diagnostic Centre is scheduled to open to patients in spring 2027.

"Receiving news of a cancer diagnosis – whether it is for you, a relative or a friend – is often a shock, and it may leave you feeling that you have nowhere to turn. In Lincolnshire, we have local Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Services run by United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. With centres in Lincoln, Grantham and Boston, these services are here to support people living with cancer and their loved ones.

"Anyone can contact the centres, and our staff and trained volunteers are available to talk through issues and concerns. You don’t need a referral from a doctor or another health professional. The centres are safe places to come and talk to us to help you navigate the impacts of having a cancer or caring for someone who has a cancer. "

Last month, our Resuscitation Services team challenged you to take on a new skill for the new year and learn how to give basic life support to an adult.

They’re back again to ask you to think about developing your skills further by learning how to give basic life support to a child.

There are great online resources available for free from the British Red Cross to show you what to do or to refresh your skills to help a baby or child.

Visit our website for some great resources to help you: https://www.ulh.nhs.uk/news/basic-life-support-to-a-child/

LET THE TRANSFORMATION BEGIN! 🏗️🛠️

We’re really excited that work to transform the former football ground on York Street in Boston to create a £24.9 million state-of-the-art community diagnostic centre is about to begin.

Over the coming weeks, our construction partners, MTX Contracts, will be demolishing the existing stadium to make way for the new building.

When it’s finished, will provide two new MRI scanners, two new CT scanners, X-ray facilities, three ultrasound rooms, and a further eight consultation rooms, including including dedicated space for audiology services. The additional capacity in our diagnostic services will mean fewer people will need to attend our very busy hospital sites, like Pilgrim Hospital, Boston.

This will be the fourth community diagnostic centre in Lincolnshire, building on the successes of our facilities in Grantham, Lincoln and Skegness.

The drone footage you can see on this post shows what the site looks like now – we can’t wait to see how it transforms over the next year!
