Nottingham and Nottinghamshire health and care system declares critical incident

Posted by: jonathancummins - Posted on:

The health and care system in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire has declared a critical incident.

We are continuing to see high numbers of patients arriving at our hospitals, high demand for all services across the system, extended waiting times to access beds within our hospitals and difficulties in discharging patients.

As a result, the health and care system is taking additional steps to prioritise and maintain safe services for patients. Working together as a system, we will provide mutual aid, maximise resources to manage urgent and emergency care pressures and coordinate our incident management.
