My Community is our members magazine which is distributed twice a year. Keeping you up to date with what's happening at Derbyshire Community Health Services and your local health centres.
After what has undoubtedly been another challenging year for everyone, we are so pleased to be able to share with you our latest edition.
My Community - Winter 2022/Spring 2023
In this edition you’ll find a round-up of our performance for our patients during the year, a focus on how you can access urgent care when you need it at any one of our five urgent treatment centres across Derbyshire and in Derby, and the launch of two new websites: one for new parents and one for teenagers about teen health… plus lots more.
