Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s mental health support line, now renamed the Derbyshire Mental Health Helpline and Support Service, is one of several major innovations to support service users during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Chesterfield Royal Hospital is urging people to ‘help us to help you’ by making the best use of NHS resources to ensure services remain available to treat patients according to clinical need.

Staff at the Chesterfield Royal Hospital will be working extra hard with health partners across the region to do everything they can to discharge patients safely before Christmas.

Getting the right treatment, at the right time and at the right place has now become easier as Derby and Derbyshire residents are asked to contact NHS111 first by phone or online at 111.nhs.uk if they think they need A&E. 

The NHS will begin vaccinating patients against coronavirus at dozens of hospital hubs from this week at the start of the biggest immunisation programme in history.

The Chesterfield Royal Hospital is highlighting the role of carers during the current Covid pandemic as part of Carers’ Right Day.

Another incredible piece of joined up working has resulted in our day surgery and inpatient surgery teams merging to ensure that emergency and urgent operations go ahead as planned in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chesterfield Royal Hospital has become the latest Trust in the East Midlands to go live with a system that allows regional hospitals to share diagnostic images.

One of our Consultants is behind a wonderful idea to overcome the physical barrier that a face mask can present for clinical staff communicating with patients.

A new virtual system that will give Chesterfield Royal Hospital’s patients more flexibility to control their own appointments will be rolled out to most outpatient suites from the end of November.
