The UHDB Medical Museum collection is out on display in museum cabinets across the hospital sites. The locations of the cabinets are:

​

  • The Royal Derby Hospital - on the main corridor, opposite the Faith Centre

  • The Florence Nightingale Community Hospital - opposite reception

  • Queens Hospital Burton - On Level 1 and Level 2 in Treatment Centre 1

  • Sir Robert Peel Hospital - next to the restaurant

​

There are also museum cabinets situated in the Library and Knowledge Service at the Royal Derby Hospital.

​

The Library and Knowledge service provides "object handling" sessions for staff wellbeing events and for boredom busters to patients. We also provide a pop-up museum for events. If you would like any of these services, please contact the library on uhdblibrary@nhs.net.
