Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have commenced the second phase of public consultation for their Tomorrow’s NUH (TNUH) initiative. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform and revolutionise the services run by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) at Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospitals. TNUH forms part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme. This programme is about investing in buildings and equipment across the NHS, ensuring both patients and staff have the facilities they need for the future. More information on TNUH can be found here.
Following on from previous consultations in November and December 2020, where the CCG presented a number of high-level proposals. The majority of respondents during this initial phase supported the ideas that were being proposed whilst wanting more information. Since then, the CCG has done an immense amount of work to further develop these proposals and identify what steps can be taken to best utilise the funding available. This next phase of consultation is running until the 1st April and there are a number of public events taking place where you can give your views as detailed below. You are also able to complete the TNUH survey here.

This is your opportunity to give your views on the proposals, and to form part of building the future of our NHS in Nottinghamshire. The CCG will not make any decisions on the way forward until the full public consultation has been completed.
Darren Henry MP commented “I am delighted to see Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust progressing with their consultation over Tomorrow’s NUH. When I was first elected I pledged to fight for more funding for our local hospitals and I am pleased to see proposals coming forward to make use of the Government’s New Hospitals Programme right here in Nottinghamshire. Supporting our NHS however is not just about ensuring we have the right buildings and services. It is also about investing in our excellent staff ensuring they have the training and support they need to care for our most vulnerable in society. I am delighted that last week, Government announced that they are more than halfway to meeting the target of recruiting 50,000 additional nurses by 2024.”
