Bluebell Ward, at Walton Hospital in Chesterfield, has been refurbished to provide inpatient mental healthcare for 12 older adults. This service is relocating from Pleasley Ward at Hartington Unit on the nearby Chesterfield Royal Hospital site.
Bluebell Ward meets the specific environmental needs and safety requirements of older adults, and provides access to specialist clinicians. The refurbishment of the ward is in line with national guidance and meets the standard of a newly built hospital.
Walton Hospital is approximately three miles drive from Chesterfield Royal Hospital, so reasonably close to the existing site. There is plenty of on-site free parking for both staff and patients.
Walton Hospital offers a wide range of outpatient specialities in the purpose-designed Peter McCarthy Suite, which was officially opened in 2016. This includes consultation rooms, group therapy areas and a gym.
