Designed to reduce pressure on hospitals and reduce the need to travel for treatment, the new Durham DTC provides an easily accessible building for modern healthcare services. As well as community renal dialysis the new centre offers ophthalmology, urology, ENT, day-case theatre, recovery and outpatients facilities. There’s also provision externally for a mobile MRI hook up and internally a lead-lined room was included to accommodate future X-Ray services. Renal dialysis was a particular requirement; with a growing need (7% pa) identified and the impending closure of services at Durham Hospital.
