Nottingham City Hospital

Nottingham City Hospital is a large hospital located in Nottingham, UK. With Queen's Medical Centre, it forms the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The City Hospital is the older of Nottingham's two hospitals, founded in 1903. It occupies a large 90 acre site on the ring road to the North of the city centre. It provides general medical and surgical services to the local population, and is the location for many specialities such as Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Breast Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Oncology, Urology, and Infectious Diseases.

The hospital has significant roles in teaching and research, in association with the University of Nottingham. Research interests include rheumatology, stroke, respiratory medicine and oncology. Medical students from the University of Nottingham Medical School are attached to most of the departments as part of their clinical training.

There is some reorganisation of clinical services in Nottingham recently due to the merger of the city's two hospitals. As such some departments, particularly acute specialities, may relocate to the Queen's Medical Centre, where the Emergency Department is found. However, the fact that areas like Cardiac Surgery have only recently moved to new purpose-built accommodation suggests that these will remain on the City Hospital site. The two hospitals are connected by a link bus which provides a free service for patients and staff.
