We have a range of health services. For some of these services, you can directly request treatment and make an appointment. For other services, called our secondary care services, only a health professional can refer you.
I’m a local resident

We run the East Midlands Gambling Harms Service, and give free and confidential support to people who are concerned about their gambling.
We provide treatment and support to women experiencing mental health problems either during pregnancy or after pregnancy.

Mums who are struggling can now contact the Perinatal team directly, not just through their GP.

- Our CAMHS service (Derby and southern Derbyshire) – using our ‘single point of access’ referral form for specialist children’s services
- Our community paediatrics service (Derby and southern Derbyshire) – again, using our ‘single point of access’ referral form for specialist children’s services
