Our purpose is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.

We employ around 4,200 substantive staff, caring for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health centres, as well as in clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes and, increasingly, in people’s own homes and via virtual consultations.

During the pandemic response we have led the implementation of public vaccination centres in collaboration with partners across health and social care.

We deliver education to a diverse group of staff across both DCHS and DHCFT, both virtually and face-to-face.

We aim to create innovate ways to deliver education whilst maintaining the highest level of standards to our staff.
