Other Points of Interest: Here at Cavendish we embrace our patients and our community. Prior to the pandemic we frequently went to local schools to deliver oral health advice to the younger children and held advice sessions for the parents. We celebrated our 40th anniversary in 2016, with a huge tea party in the practice and we were lucky enough to be joined by the then-Mayoress of Derby. Our practice mascot, Muflosser, made an appearance and we were blessed to be joined by the first ever patient treated at Cavendish in 1976! We celebrate each other as family. Holidays, birthdays and celebrations are shared by all of the team. Any excuse for a knees-up or a fuddle!
There are numerous new developments in Derby which would offer rental accommodation or house shares. We would highly recommend you speak to a local estate agent for further information.t.
