Our team of doctors, specialist nurses, dieticians, podiatrists and clinical psychologists provide extensive inpatient and outpatient services, working closely with other hospital departments, local healthcare organisations and primary care colleagues.
New referrals are seen in the outpatient clinic at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
Our patients are supported by a multi-disciplinary diabetes team to manage their condition and take part in education, training and research to the benefit of those they care for.
We are not able to provide letters or sick notes confirming that you have diabetes.
The Derbyshire guidance for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes can be found here in the advice section on this page under the following headings: Type 1 diabetes guidanceType 2 diabetes guidance
If you live in Derbyshire and have type 1 diabetes, or have been advised that you may be at risk of ketoacidosis, and you DON’T have a meter which can test blood ketone levels, please contact Spirit Health Care on 0800 8815423 as they can send you the CareSens Dual meter and test strips.
Antenatal care is still being provided but arrangements will vary from usual. While we are still running a diabetic foot clinic at CRH, foot clinic capacity at the Whitworth Hospital and other community sites is being expanded and we may ask people to transfer to these clinics.
