The Housekeeping service plays a vital role and is included as part of the centre team to ensure that a pleasant, safe, welcoming and clean environment is provided to patients, visitors and staff.

Wye Valley Community Diagnostic Centre: Wye Valley NHS Trust is building a brand new Diagnostic Centre on the northern side of the city centre, Holmer Road, Hereford (located behind the B&Q building). The Centre will bring the latest, state-of-the-art MRI, CT, X-ray and Ultrasound equipment which will allow us to diagnose cancer and other health conditions earlier and with greater accuracy. Staff from our existing diagnostic services will rotate between the County Hospital and the CDC site to take their important work to this community setting.  We are now recruiting more colleagues to join us in this exciting venture!
