Don’t say the Q word! 👀🎙️

Our brand new podcast is here…

In episode one, recorded on the Trust’s 20th anniversary (April 1), we take you inside a real day at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust—through the eyes of the people who give their time to make a difference 💙

Filmed in the busy D floor restaurant at Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC), this episode shines a light on the incredible role of our volunteers. We hear from two of our volunteer guests who simply love to help—sharing why they give their time, the moments that stay with them, and the difference they make to patients, families and staff every day.

There are heartfelt moments, inspiring stories, and a real sense of what makes NUH so special…

Just remember - Don’t say the Q word!

A special space, created with love 💙

A newly refurbished family room has opened within Critical Care at City Hospital, made possible thanks to the incredible generosity of Jayne Gregory’s family and Nottingham Hospitals Charity

Designed to offer comfort, privacy and calm, the room provides a welcoming environment for patients, families and staff – whether for quiet reflection, difficult conversations or moments together. Thoughtful touches, including seascape murals and personal photographs of Weymouth taken by Jayne’s husband Gary, make this space truly meaningful.

Following the compassionate care Jayne received, her family raised over £2,000 to give back and support others during some of the most challenging times. Their kindness has helped create a lasting legacy – “Jayne’s Room” – a place of peace, dignity and support for all who need it.

We are so grateful to the Gregory family for their generosity and to our Charity for helping bring this vision to life.

People of NUH 💙 - Meet Jason, Healthcare Assistant

He said: "It’s been a relatively short journey for me so far – around three years – but my path into healthcare has been very different from what I did before.

I joined D57, now known as the Geriatric Assessment Unit (GAU), and have always worked in geriatric admissions and assessment. It’s a busy ward where patients typically stay for just a few days, which makes it a fast-paced and ever-changing environment.

That’s one of the things I enjoy most about the role. Even in such a short time, you get to know patients and their families, understand their stories, and play a part in helping them through what can often be a difficult moment in their lives. Every day is different, and every patient brings something new.

Working in geriatrics is incredibly rewarding – it’s about more than just clinical care; it’s about compassion, communication, and making sure people feel heard and supported."

A special visit to our new Community Diagnostic Centre 👀🏥

We were delighted to welcome LeeAnne Green from NHS England to the Broad Marsh Community Diagnostic Centre site recently.

The new centre, which will be run by Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH), is really starting to take shape and is set to open in 2027. Once complete, it will provide up to 140,000 diagnostic tests every year, helping people get quicker access to the checks they need 💙

LeeAnne, Strategic Estates Lead at NHS England, joined colleagues from NUH, construction partners Henry Brothers, and other partners for a tour of the site to see the progress being made.

Speaking about the visit, LeeAnne said it was a great opportunity to see the development first-hand, describing the centre as an important investment for Nottinghamshire that will play a vital role in delivering diagnostic services closer to home.

She also praised the team’s strong focus on quality, safety and collaboration, and the shared ambition to create a modern, patient-centred environment that will improve the experience for both patients and staff.

We can’t wait to see this fantastic new facility open its doors in 2027 🙌

The British Medical Association (BMA) has announced that resident doctors will take industrial action from 7am on Tuesday 7 April until 7am on Sunday 13 April.

During the strikes, there may be fewer doctors working than usual, and services will prioritise life-saving and urgent care. As with previous periods of industrial action, this may mean longer waits for less urgent care and some disruption to planned appointments.

If we have not contacted you, please attend your appointment as planned. We will contact you if your appointment needs to be rescheduled due to strike action.

A huge thank you to our incredible supporters Notts County FC, GXO Logistics, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and Aston Martin Nottingham for their generous Easter donations, helping to bring smiles to patients and families across our hospitals this Easter 🐣💙

We’re also incredibly grateful to Notts County FC and Aston Martin Nottingham for their support—your ongoing generosity makes a real difference to our patients year after year.

GXO’s support is especially meaningful. What began as a heartfelt tribute in memory of four-year-old Alfi Mjeshtri—who was cared for on Ward 39—has grown into a long-standing tradition of kindness. Since 2013, colleagues have continued to donate Easter treats and Christmas gifts, while raising over £75,000 for the Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre in Alfi’s name. A special thank you to Pete, who continues to organise and deliver these donations each year.

We’d also like to thank Emma, one of the parents from Ward E39, for organising a wonderful donation of Easter eggs, crafts and treats for the ward, bringing even more joy (and some very special visitors like Peter Rabbit 🐰 and Chase!) to our young patients.

And it was lights, sirens and big smiles as Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service visited with a fire engine, giving children the chance to see it up close, climb inside and meet the crew—alongside their generous Easter egg donations 🚒

Together, your kindness creates special moments when they’re needed most. Thank you for your continued support 💙

With help from our patients and visitors, we created a special video of some of those who have experienced our care, sharing what they would say to the people who looked after them.

We would like to give a special thank you to patient George Hinch, who appears in the video and since sadly passed away. We are deeply grateful to George, and to patients like him, for generously sharing their time and their words with us.

For 20 years, our incredible staff have been there for millions of patients and families — and alongside them, Nottingham Hospitals Charity has helped go further, funding projects, equipment and environments that make a real difference to care every day.

💙 Thanks to NUH, baby jasper can hear for the first time!

A family is celebrating more than two decades of life-changing care as Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) marks its 20th anniversary.

For Toby Carver and his family, NUH’s care spans generations — from Toby’s own cochlear implant as a young child to his baby son’s treatment nearly 30 years later.

Jasper, now just 10 months old, received his cochlear implant at NUH in February 2026 and is already responding to sound — a milestone his dad knows can be truly life-changing.

Reflecting on their journey, the family say the support they received growing up has helped them navigate Jasper’s care with confidence.

✨ “We’ve had such a positive experience ourselves that we know how to support Jasper and help him reach his potential.” 💙

As part of marking 20 years of NUH, we’re looking to the future and have published our new strategy. This is our plan to improve hospital care across Nottingham and beyond over the next five years.

It has been shaped by the voices of our colleagues, patients, volunteers, partners and local communities.

Thank you to everyone who shared their views with us in Autumn 2025.

🔵 the meet and greet volunteer who is giving back after a grandchild was saved
🔵 the Easter vistors who delivered a thousand Easter eggs to the Children's Hospital in their Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Fire Engine
