We are based in three locations throughout Derbyshire and offer a full and comprehensive library and knowledge service to all NHS employees of Derbyshire Community Health Services.
We are here to support all employees of DCHS to deliver exceptional patient care. We provide help and support to colleagues by enabling them to access the right knowledge and best available evidence to improve clinical outcomes. We also support staff and students in their life-long learning, education and development ensuring they have easy access to our resources and facilities.
