Planning future services together
so people can be healthy, live well and stay well.

Joined Up Care Derbyshire, also known as Derbyshire’s Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) brings together health and social care organisations across Derbyshire. Working together more closely than ever before, the ambition is to provide the best care and services for people and make them as efficient and effective as possible.

The plans set out a vision for a more joined-up approach to health and social care, the steps that should be taken to get there and how everyone involved needs to work together to improve what we deliver.

Health and social care organisations in Derbyshire have been working closely together for some time, to improve care and services for people and make them as efficient and effective as possible. Our plans have been reviewed during summer 2019 - you can see the progress made in our plans section.
