Whitworth Hospital is a community hospital in Matlock, that serves people from across this part of the Derbyshire Dales. It is much smaller than a big district general hospital, with its role centred on community healthcare, rehabilitation, outpatient services and helping patients who do not necessarily need the facilities of a major acute hospital. The quieter setting and fairly compact site give it a very different feel from larger hospitals. Matlock is only a short trip away for wider medical, shopping and everyday services, while Chesterfield Royal Hospital is the nearest major hospital for many specialist and emergency services.

The hospital has been part of local life for well over a century. Its origins lie in the late Victorian period, when Sir Joseph Whitworth's legacy helped fund projects intended to benefit communities around Darley Dale and Matlock. One of the nice things about the hospital's location is that visitors are not stuck in the middle of a built-up city. Whitworth Park is close at hand, Darley Dale has shops, cafés, pubs and everyday services, and the River Derwent runs through the valley nearby. Matlock offers considerably more, including Hall Leys Park, independent shops and places to eat, while Matlock Bath brings riverside walks, the Heights of Abraham and a slightly old-fashioned resort atmosphere.

Getting to Whitworth Hospital by car is fairly simple, with the A6 running through Darley Dale and linking the area with Matlock, Bakewell and routes to Derby. Drivers coming from Chesterfield commonly approach through the A632 and local roads, while the A38 and M1 motorway provide the regional connections further east. Matlock railway station is the nearest regular National Rail station, with services to Derby and onward connections around the country. Local buses run through the Darley Dale and Matlock corridor, and taxis are readily available from Matlock. The hospital's semi-rural setting means that having a car can still make life considerably easier.
