NHS trust is made equality partner

As part of Equality and Diversity Week, the Trust has been named by NHS Employers as one of their equality and diversity partners for 2014-15 – one of only 21 trusts across the country to be selected for the accolade.

Derbyshire Healthcare specialises in providing compassionate care, both in a hospital setting and in the community, and has been recognised as an exemplar organisation for its work on community engagement.

Chief Executive Steve Trenchard said: “We are passionate about being as welcoming as possible to all the different communities we serve.

“We want people of all different backgrounds to know about our services and feel comfortable using our services to improve their health and wellbeing.

“Everyone is looking forward to working with NHS Employers to develop even better ways of working.”
