WINNER: Wood Green Community Diagnostic Centre: Capital & Regional and Whittington Health Trust

A partnership was established between Whittington Health, an NHS trust in North Central London, and Capital and Regional, a UK property REIT specialising in community shopping centres. The project delivered a Community Diagnostic Centre in one of London’s most deprived neighbourhoods, Wood Green. The CDC Phase 1 opened in summer 2022, offering convenient diagnostic testing for NCL residents, improving access to healthcare via a purpose-built space.

NHS England supported with direct funding, as part of its national CDC roll-out, with Wood Green being one of a few nationally which are located in a shopping centre. The result was a transformational patient experience to local residents.

The judges felt that this entry was a great example of partnership working with the strengths of differing skills bought together. “There is great community engagement and it felt like a true partnership with expertise and knowledge.”
