With the changing responses to Coronavirus being advised and the changes that have had to be implemented in the way health and services are delivered, we felt that it was important to directly contact you. We wanted to check that you feel you have the information you need to support our local population.

Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s mental health support line was introduced to offer support and guidance to Derbyshire residents, of all ages, who are experiencing increased mental health needs during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The support line has moved to a Freephone 0800 number.
From 1 July 2020, call 0800 028 0077. The service will be available between 9.00am – midnight, seven days a week.
Just a reminder that New Connections is the Social Prescribing service for the Derbyshire Dales.
If you’ve ever wondered what Social Prescribing means – here’s an excellent explanation from the team.
Social Prescribing is a way of supporting and improving people’s health and wellbeing outside of traditional medical settings.
Our efficient and high-quality photocopying service is still running!
However, we must ask that you email your copy us with details of the job and we will contact you to arrange a time for collection or we will post it out to you.
At the moment, we are sorry but we cannot do ‘on-the-spot’ jobs. The main door is locked at the Agricultural Business Centre and access to collect anything is by appointment only.
…including listening to Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone for free! If you are going the full 9 and three quarter yards and learning a new language – you can even listen to the first in the series in Spanish, French, Italian, German and Japanese!
