We deliver patient care through 11 community hospitals, 4 minor injury units, 29 health centres and a learning disability centre.  Another key part of our service is out in the community where we care for people in their own homes via therapists, health visitors and district nurses, and promoting public health in the wider community.  As a Trust we care for patients of all ages with a special focus on the needs of elderly people and the very young.

DCHS has been recognised as a top 10 NHS organisation to work for in the UK by the Health Service Journal and NHS Employers in their Best Places to Work 2015 campaign.  The Trust is also the runner-up in the category for the best NHS community trust employer.
