Derbyshire Health and Care System remains under significant pressure and continues to declare a critical incident

 

The Derbyshire health and care system saw new levels of demand for services during the Christmas bank holiday period and this has continued with pressure on services rising as we moved towards the New Year bank holiday weekend.  As a result of this, a critical incident was declared to help prioritise and maintain safe services for patients and this decision was taken at 14.32 hours on 31st December 2022. A critical incident continues to be declared as of 17:00 hours on Tuesday 3 January 2023.

More information and how people can help is on the Joined Up Care Derbyshire website.

Clinics & Services

Antenatal Clinic

Antenatal services are provided by the community midwife: she has a surgery on a Tuesday for follow up antenatal appointments and for new patients.

Asthma Clinic

Nurses hold asthma reviews on an individual appointment basis.

Child Health Surveillance

Every Thursday clinics are held by the nurses for child immunisations. We will send you an appointment when it is time for your child’s check.

We see children when they are six weeks old for their first assessment and at regular intervals up to three and a half years old.

We are keen to make sure that our young patients are given protection against serious infectious diseases. We believe a regular routine vaccination programme is extremely safe and effective.
