Our Vision
We are working towards a future where Derbyshire Dales offers world-class primary care that helps people live healthier and happier lives.
This vision guides everything we do, from the services we design to the partnerships we build.
Our Mission
We will achieve our vision by focusing our work across four key areas:

How We Work Together
Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to:
- Listening to every practice in the network and ensuring every voice is heard
