Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) is the country’s fourth largest acute teaching trust. It was established on 1 April 2006 following the merger of Nottingham City Hospital and the Queen's Medical Centre. We are the busiest Major Trauma Centre in the country based on number of admissions.
We provide acute and specialist services to 2.5 million people within Nottingham and surrounding communities from the Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) and the City Hospital campuses. We have an annual budget in excess of £1bn of public sector funding and employ over 15,000 staff.
The Trust is the principal provider of acute general, specialist and tertiary hospital care to the population of Nottingham, receiving 98 per cent of all elective and urgent referrals from primary care trusts in Nottinghamshire. We currently have 1700 hospital beds.
Our activities include general hospital services for the local population and a wide range of specialist services, many for patients across the East Midlands and beyond. In 2008/09 we cared for around:
• 755,000 first and follow up outpatients
• 160,000 emergency attendances
• 90,000 non-elective admissions
• 90,000 day case and elective inpatient admissions.
The Trust works in close association with the University of Nottingham and the University of Derby. There are very strong links with nursing and midwifery training, which is part of the University of Nottingham Faculty of Medicine, and with the locally-based Schools of Physiotherapy, Radiology and Radiotherapy.
