Yeovil Gets New NHS Hub for Faster Tests

A new NHS diagnostic centre, poised to handle approximately 70,000 tests and outpatient appointments each year, has officially commenced operations. Located adjacent to Yeovil District Hospital, this new facility is equipped to provide a range of essential services, including audiology, ear nose and throat care, and cardiology.

This development marks a significant step in enhancing local healthcare infrastructure. It follows the successful establishment of a community diagnostic centre in Taunton in 2021.
