Our story

Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was established on 1 February 2011 when Monitor, the independent regulator of health services in England (now called NHS Improvement), authorised Derbyshire Mental Health Services NHS Trust to become a Foundation Trust. The organisation's name was changed to Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
