People of NUH- Meet Michael Tickle, a Specialist Clinical Pharmacist in Acute medicine

Michael has been a pharmacist since 2020, completing his training during COVID, a period in which he says was an interesting start to life in the NHS.

The thing he loves most about his role is knowing the work they do has a direct impact on patients and their loved ones. It might sound simple, but that difference really matters.

For Michael, NUH is an incredibly welcoming place to work. Every team he has worked with has been supportive, always ready to help and go the extra mile for one another.

And one piece of life advice he would give? Always be kind.

🎉Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust turns 20 🎉

Did you know NUH was formed in 2006, when Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital came together as one Trust? Twenty years on, we’re proud to be marking two decades of caring for our communities as Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.💙
To mark the milestone, we’re speaking to staff who were here at the very start.

Steph Szolin started working at QMC in 1999 and had just been appointed Senior Biomedical Scientist in 2006. In that first year of NUH, City Hospital became her new place of work and the place where she gave birth to her youngest son. She says NUH is like her second family.

💙Were you part of NUH’s early days?

If you’ve worked at NUH for the past 20 years, or were involved in any “firsts” or key achievements along the way, we’d love to hear from you - please contact nuhnt.nuhmedia@nhs.net

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in men and women – but it remains the leading cause of premature cancer death, claiming more lives than breast and bowel cancer combined.

Early diagnosis saves lives. That’s why it’s so encouraging that England’s world-leading lung cancer screening programme is being rolled out to everyone eligible by 2030.

We’re incredibly proud of the work being led right here in Nottingham by David Baldwin, Consultant Lung Specialist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and Chair of the UK Clinical Expert Group for Lung Cancer. Working with the Department of Health and Social Care as an advisor to the UK National Screening Committee, he and the amazing team around him have helped put Nottingham firmly on the map for lung cancer screening and early diagnosis.

Together, we’re making a difference. 💙

🌱 Help us make NUH Carbon Net Zero by 2040 🌱

As part of the NHS, NUH has committed to becoming a Net Zero Carbon Trust by 2040 – and we can only achieve this together.

We’re also working towards an 80% reduction in indirect carbon emissions, including those linked to procurement, and making access to our services lower carbon through things like telemedicine, active travel, electric vehicles and public transport.

💚 What we’ve achieved so far

Built a new low-carbon energy centre at City Hospital

Replaced 12,000 windows at Queen’s Medical Centre, improving energy efficiency and comfort

Drilled 64 geothermal boreholes at QMC and installed heat pumps – helping to cut CO₂ emissions by around 10,000 tonnes a year (the equivalent of removing more than 2,200 cars from the road)

📘 What’s next
We’ve launched an updated NUH Green Plan, setting out where we’ll focus our efforts up to 2028 to make the biggest impact.

Over the coming months, we’ll share updates on what we’re doing – and how you can help, including:

Travelling to our sites more sustainably

Bringing reusable coffee cups

Keeping doors closed to maintain room temperatures

For staff: switching off lights and non-essential equipment at the end of shifts

🔑 Our priority areas

Workforce and system leadership

Net zero clinical transformation

Digital transformation

Travel and transport

Estates and facilities

Medicines

Supply chain and procurement

Food and nutrition

Adaptation

Today the NUH Arts program celebrated World Kindness Day by visiting wards B47, B48 and B49 for some creative flower origami which helped bring patients and their families together. Alongside this, the Rock Choir livened up the entrance of QMC and the Treatment Centre with popular songs.

Today, Monday 16 February, we have stood down the Critical Incident that was declared on Friday 13 February due to significant demand on our services, particularly in A&E, resulting in lengthy waits for patients.

We have been able to take this decision to stand down the Critical Incident due to an improved position of flow through our hospitals.

However, our hospitals and our A&E department remain very busy. Therefore, we are still asking for the public to think carefully before selecting the right healthcare service for their needs, and to support us by collecting relatives being discharged from hospital as early as possible.

How you can continue to help

🔵If your relative is due to be discharged from hospital and needs to be collected, please do so as early as possible. This will help our teams and free up a hospital bed for someone waiting to be admitted.

🔵Only call 999 or attend ED for serious accidents and for life threatening emergencies.

🔵Where the situation is not life-threatening, alternative support will be available through NHS111 online or by calling 111.

🔵Urgent Treatment Centres (UTC) treat injuries including sprains, strains, suspected fractures, bites, cuts, scalds and other non-emergency conditions. Waiting times are usually much shorter than ED

🔵Pharmacies can help with allergies, constipation, headaches and many other ailments, over 200 pharmacies in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire can provide NHS medicines for seven common conditions through the Pharmacy First service. Depending on your age, this includes Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in women, earache, shingles, sinusitis, impetigo and sore throats. See the website for details.

Please do not visit your loved ones in hospital if you have any flu or other respiratory illness symptoms - please wait until you are better to visit them.

We continue to remain in a Critical Incident today, Sunday 15 February, due to continued pressures across our hospitals.

The Critical Incident was declared on Friday due to a significant increase in older patients, who often need to stay in hospital longer than usual, and an increase in those with respiratory problems.

Our staff have been working tirelessly to safely discharge hundreds of patients as part of efforts to increase capacity and relieve the pressure on our hospitals, but we need your help too.

How you can help

🚨If your relative is due to be discharged from hospital and needs to be collected, please do so as early as possible. This will help our teams and free up a hospital bed for someone waiting to be admitted.
🚨Only call 999 or attend ED for serious accidents and for life threatening emergencies.
🚨Where the situation is not life-threatening, alternative support will be available through NHS111 online or by calling 111.
