Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust

Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Trust was one of the Community health NHS trusts created in 2012.

It was authorised as a Foundation Trust in October 2014.[1]

The trust has established a Responsive Workforce Model using HealthRoster Software and SafeCare, which they say has reduced agency spend, ensured quality and freed up nurses for hands-on care.[2]

It was named by the Health Service Journal as the second best community trust to work for in 2015. At that time it had 3227 full time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.13%. 78% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 65% recommended it as a place to work.[3]

The trust announced plans to merge with Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust in November 2016.[4]
