Wakefield Community Diagnostic Centre

About our service

Based within Westgate Retail Park, Wakefield Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) allows patients to undergo tests for a range of conditions in the heart of their local community, making services more accessible and convenient for patients and carers, whilst increasing the number of tests carried out by the Trust.

All services are by appointment only, with the exception of blood tests which is a walk-in service between 8.30am and 4.00pm, Monday to Friday, with the last time for walk-in arrival being 3.30pm.

Please note, the CDC is not able to do tests for under 18 year olds, urgent tests or tests with any special requirements (such as special storage or time-to-lab).
