Patients and residents will be able to have a say on NHS decisions at an event in Bakewell.
Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust is hosting the day to give members of the public a chance to influence health issues.
A number of interactive activities will be taking place including a question and answers sessions.
There will also be two brief presentations from key figures from the PCT.
Pam Purdue, head of public and patient involvement at Derbyshire PCT said: "This event is for anyone who wants to find out more about how decisions are made in the NHS.
"Although the discussions will be complex, the day is intended to help patients and public understand what lies behind the headlines that they may have seen where patients have been denied drugs, how they can contribute to decisions made about their health services, and what the PCT is all about."
The free event will take place on Tuesday October 7 in Bakewell between 9.30am and 4.30pm.
Free lunch and refreshments will be provided. Contact 01298 212272 for a booking form.
