Health and Well-being at Chesterfield Royal

Physical Well-being

To support our team’s physical well-being we have Facilities on Site to enable staff to exercise before, during and after work. There are changing rooms, lockers and showers across the site for staff to use.

There is an outdoor gym for staff and visitors to use; this is situated at the back of the site next to the education centre.

There are facilities help encourage people to cycle to work:

• Storage: Lockable covered bike stores are available for staff use
• Cycle routes: A cycle path joins the Royal's ground with Wetlands Lane. This path offers safer access to the town and further afield via quiet lanes and bridle paths. A marked shared pedestrian and cycle route is located at the front of the hospital providing safer access for cyclists joining the main road from the hospital site.
