RRT Doncaster Supports the Grand Opening of Montagu Hospital Imaging Suite

Volunteers from Doncaster RRT provided 400 free burger meals to NHS staff during the unveiling of the Montagu Community Diagnostic Centre’s (CDC) new Imaging Suite.

The £16.8 million Imaging Suite, completed in March 2025 after a year of construction, represents a significant investment in modern diagnostic services. Equipped with state-of-the-art MRI and CT scanning rooms, an ultrasound suite, and a welcoming reception area, the facility is designed to enhance patient comfort and reduce anxiety during procedures.

The new Imaging Suite is expected to perform approximately 80,000 diagnostic procedures annually, significantly reducing waiting times and improving treatment pathways for patients across South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw.

Doncaster Mayor Ros Jones was present to cut the ribbon and officially open the suite, marking a major milestone for healthcare in the region.

Richard Parker OBE, Chief Executive at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, said: “The Imaging Suite is a prime example of how we are transforming healthcare by providing care in the best environment for patients.” Sara Elliott, Head of Medical Imaging at DBTH, highlighted the focus on patient experience: “Patient experience is crucial to delivering an effective diagnostic service, and the new imaging suite has been designed with comfort in mind.”
