Patients are being urged to use urgent care centres rather than A&E for injuries that are not serious or life-threateningA hospital gym has been turned into a temporary ward due to "severe" and "intense" demand on services.
Dr Chris Weiner, chief medical officer for NHS Derby and Derbyshire, said staff had been left frustrated. Dr Weiner told BBC Radio Derby that staff "really want to see high quality care delivered to people in our community and want to see people treated in a normal bed space and to be able to do that well.
People have also been asked to use urgent treatment centres instead of A&E for non life-threatening injuries.
“gym used on two days by patients who were medically fit and were waiting to be discharged” Seems a sensible measure to free up bed space on treatment wards. Well done 👏🏻
