Welcome to our new £10 million Integrated Diagnostic Centre at South Tyneside, our friendly, expert teams will serve thousands of patients across the North East and significantly increase scan access and capacity.

The centre is home to two MRI and two CT scanners and the first permanent PET-CT scanner within the Trust, meaning that patients can access specialist scans locally rather than travel to Newcastle or Middlesbrough as they have in the past.

The centre also features a ‘docking’ station for mobile scanners enabling us to meet any further capacity needs and rising demand for scans in the future.
