About us
Introduction
The completion of the new hospital brings specialist services and experts together on a single site under the same roof for the first time in Derby's history. This brings with it significant benefits for patients and staff. It enables the hospital to provide patients with the very latest in modern healthcare and the best possible quality of care.
Here, we take an opportunity to show you what makes Derby 's new Hospital so special.
Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust recognised by the Department of Health as a high performing Trust (Healthcare Commission ratings 2008 - excellent for use of resources and good for quality of service), we deliver quality patient care and in recent years have achieved high standards which have put us amongst the cleanest and safest hospitals in the country.
Our vision is to build on these achievements, 'Taking pride in caring'.
Our new first class £334million hospital is now fully operational and is a hospital that Derby can be proud of. As the biggest ever investment in healthcare in Derby, the new hospital will provide the very latest in modern healthcare, bringing specialist services (& therefore our experts) together for the first time in Derby's history.
We provide a wide range of services including general medical, surgical, maternity, rehabilitation care and accident and emergency services, with a total of 1,187 beds many of which are single rooms for improved privacy and dignity for patients.
We serve a population of over 600,000 people in and around Southern Derbyshire ; and for some of our more specialist services; we also attract patients from a wider catchment area. This year, we will treat and care for over 180,000 people as inpatients, outpatients, emergency patients and daycase. This will equate to around 625,000 visits from patients during the year
