Modular Cancer Screening Buildings
Cancer screening: Making early detection easier through improved facilities
As modular healthcare building providers, we understand the crucial role that cancer screening plays in saving lives.
Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes and increases patient survival rates.
But even the best protocols can be hampered by inadequate screening facilities as, according to a study published in March 2022, around 50% of all cancers are not currently found until the cancer has progressed to an advanced stage.
We believe that investing in adequate screening facilities is not just about the building shell we provide, but the ongoing service that building gives medical professionals and visitors alike.

Cancer screening builds with a mission
We want to help both our NHS and the private sector to:
- Empower patients to make informed choices about their health
- Equip clinicians with the tools for accurate and timely diagnoses
- Promote public health by encouraging preventative measures and early intervention
Environmentally
focused
Prefab (an old fashioned term for modular) cancer treatment buid offer a lower carbon construction solution
Reduced
build times
Compared to traditional methods, modular construction achieves far quicker build times
Factory controlled quality
Each stage of our modular process is thoroughly checked to ensure strict quality standards are met
What are the benefits of well equipped, modular cancer screening rooms?
Let’s explore the benefits of investing in well-equipped and efficient screening rooms:
Enhanced patient experience:
- Reduce wait times: Streamlined workflow and optimised room utilisation minimise patient anxiety and improve compliance with future screenings.
- Increase comfort and privacy: Modern equipment and dedicated spaces ensure patient dignity and well-being during sensitive procedures.
- Improve communication: Dedicated staff and comfortable consultation areas facilitate clear communication and informed decision-making.
Optimised Clinical Efficiency:
- Faster turnaround times: Advanced technology expedites image acquisition, analysis, and reporting, leading to quicker diagnoses and treatment initiation.
- Enhance diagnostic accuracy: High-resolution equipment and ergonomically designed workstations empower clinicians to make nuanced interpretations.
- Reduce resource burden: Efficient layout, optimised workflows, and digital integration minimise redundant testing and optimise resource allocation.
Public Health Impact:
- Increase screening uptake: Improved patient experience and streamlined processes encourage participation in vital screening programs.
- Early detection of high-risk individuals: Early identification enables timely intervention and potentially prevents cancer development.
- Reduce healthcare costs: Early detection translates to less invasive and costly treatments, benefiting both patients and healthcare systems.

Case studies
-
Royal Surrey County Hospital approached Elite with a challenge: build a 20-bed isolation ward in just four months as part of the hospital’s COVID-19 response.
-
The covid-19 pandemic heightened the need for specialized healthcare space, prompting Royal Bolton Hospital to seek a same-day emergency care (SDEC) center to alleviate A&E congestion.
-
Our off-site pre-fabricated solution created a healthcare unit which provided much-needed storage in a tricky space.
Why Elite for modular cancer screening?
We design our modular facilities to fit within your space.
We have provided
- A ‘unit on stilts’ within a quadrangle at Fitzwilliam Hospital
- A ground floor level access storage facility for Warrington Hospital
- A full isolation ward at Royal Surrey Hospital
- A mortuary with an integrated CT scanner in Walthmastow, London.
You can see all of our healthcare-specific success stories.
But why else?
Our units are UK-made here in our factory in West Yorkshire to your bespoke design that’s been tailored to your needs and considering in all logistical concerns – flat-pack and our standard modular design are in our repertoire so don’t be discouraged by narrow lanes or low-hanging trees.
As much as possible is built off-site, so we reduce the amount of dust and disruption at your medical facility.
We are proud to work with you and our own targets to be as close to net zero as possible in as many aspects, leaving you with energy-efficient buildings to use.
We are also aware of the Cancer Screening in Five Continents (CanScreen5) project which the UK is part of, and we are ready to help support medical facilities to have better facilities in order to better provide accurate data for cancer related concerns.
