About us
Derbyshire Healthcare is a specialist provider of children’s, learning disability, substance misuse and mental health services – across community, inpatient and other settings. We employ more than 2,800 staff providing services from several community and inpatient settings across the whole of Derbyshire. Across the county and the city, we serve a combined population of approximately one million people. The Trust was established on 1 February 2011 and later that same year we became the provider of children’s universal and specialist services for Derby city following a successful tender process. As part of the Transforming Community Services (TCS) programme, community paediatric services and substance misuse services were also transferred into the organisation from NHS Derby City. As a Foundation Trust we are required to build a membership which is as representative of the community we serve as possible. Local people are invited to become a member of the Trust, to work with us to provide the most suitable services for the local population. Members receive regular updates on our news and upcoming events. They are also represented by a Council of Governors. We have a clear vision for the Trust, underpinned by objectives that serve as the basis for decision making and forward planning. Our vision and objectives guide us in how we balance the interests of patients, the local community and other stakeholders. The Trust has a Board of Directors, sometimes known as the Trust Board. This Board has a responsibility to make the best use of financial resources and deliver the services people need, to standards of safety and quality which are agreed nationally. We are a friendly, values driven Trust and put our people first in the knowledge that an engaged and empowered workforce leads to good patient care.
