An NHS acute hospital with a 24 hour emergency department (A&E)

🩺Our hospital remains busy today and many of our patients in ED right now need the highest levels of care. This means that those needing non urgent treatment will wait longer to be seen by a clinician as we continue to treat our most poorly patients.

🏥Our priority remains the safe care of all our patients, and we remain grateful for the help of our community.

👉So - how can you help us right now and ensure that you or your loved one gets the care they need?

➡️ED is not the place to be if you need care that is not urgent or life threatening. We are absolutely here for you if you need us in emergency or life-threatening cases, or if someone has deteriorated rapidly – but please help us to relieve some of the pressure on our services if you could be seen somewhere else such as a GP, NHS111, a community pharmacy or an Urgent Treatment Centre.

🏠If your loved one is an inpatient with us and getting ready for discharge, then please make sure that everything is in place for their return home and speak with our colleagues to make sure that you know what they need. about discharge and what you need to do to support this.

💙Thank you to all our teams who continue to work under pressure and thank you to our community for their support and for they really need.

The IPC team said: “Hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways we protect our patients, colleagues and ourselves, and it plays a vital role in preventing infection across every role and setting."

🌟 A huge thank you to Jo‑Anne Oldfield for her extraordinary generosity once again. This year, Jo‑Anne has donated £8,150 to our Neonatal Unit and £150 to our NGS Macmillan Unit here at Chesterfield Royal Hospital Trust Charity. She has supported us for many years, and her continued kindness has made a profound difference to our patients, families, and staff.

🫶 Jo‑Anne shared these words about what motivates her fundraising:

“I am incredibly proud to be able to support our local hospital in this way. The care my family and I have received has shaped my determination to give back wherever I can. My fundraising journey is deeply personal—it comes from a place of gratitude, but also from loss. After nearly losing my own life and tragically losing my son, I made it my mission to support the teams who work tirelessly to care for others in their most critical moments.

To be able to honour my mother-in-law in this way, while continuing that mission, means a great deal to me. These donations are not just financial contributions—they represent appreciation, remembrance, and a commitment to helping other families receive the same level of care and compassion that we did.”

💙 We are deeply grateful for Jo‑Anne’s ongoing support and the incredible heart behind every contribution she makes.

💙Thank you for supporting Patient Experience Week and our 5 C’s of Patient Experience. These values do not work in isolation, and our final ‘C’ is Consistency.

💙Over the next five years, we will build on our strong foundations. We will expand the ACE programme to cover more settings, working to ensure that every part of our Trust Group benefits from this structured approach to quality. We will also support more areas to achieve higher levels of this accreditation, reflecting our commitment to raising standards and Improving Care Together. If we get this right, it means safer care, more consistent practice, and a culture where improvement is part of everyday work.

✨Confidence is vital to giving great care.

✨Delivering safe, effective and reliable care is at the heart of our Strong Foundations. Our Care Accreditation Scheme (ACE) is a key part of how we ensure this. It brings together the measures that matter most into a single, clear framework, helping us understand the quality of care being delivered every day.

✨Teams tell us they genuinely value ACE and the opportunity to showcase their work. It gives them confidence, clarity and a shared language for quality. It supports leaders to understand how care is delivered on the ground, strengthens teamwork, and builds real momentum for ongoing improvement.

💙We’re proud to share some of the things that our patients say about this on the attached graphic.
