Work starts on new MRI and CT scanning facility at Shaftesbury House

The planning application for the new MRI and CT scanning facility, which will replace the Shaftesbury House building on Shaftesbury Road, close to Poole Hospital, has been approved by BCP local planning authority on 30 April 2026.

The modern, fit-for-purpose, scanning facility will enable more patients to be seen sooner, helping reduce waiting times for scans. Demolition of the old site started on 7 May, and local residents are being kept up to date via monthly newsletters.
