We are currently experiencing some disruption to our telephone and IT systems following a wider issue affecting Microsoft services. Some of our service telephone lines are affected, and we may be unable to access voicemails. Please avoid calling our services unless your enquiry is urgent, and do not leave a voicemail.

Planned outpatient appointments are not affected, so please continue to attend as arranged unless we contact you to advise otherwise.

For the latest information and advice for patients and service users, please visit our website: www.dchs.nhs.uk

On Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all those who have given their lives for our freedom.

We remember the fallen, stand with veterans, reservists and serving personnel, and thank the families who carry their legacy forward.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
