Working for our organisation

NUH consists of the Queens Medical Centre Campus and the Nottingham City Hospital Campus. Duties will be based at both campuses.


On the QMC campus the critical care area is divided into a 29-bedded intensive care (level 3 beds) and a 20-bedded level 2 HDU.

The critical care area at the City campus has 17 beds that are used flexibly for level 2 and 3 care.
  • Between the three units we see approximately 4500 admissions per year. NUH is the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre and is one of the busiest trauma units in Europe. (During the covid pandemic we were able to increase our capacity significantly).


We are fortunate to have a large and skilled MDT to support the medical team in delivery of critical care to Nottingham and the wider catchment area.
