The Rheumatology research team at NUH put patients first so that they could ensure vital clinical research went ahead, despite the challenges of COVID-19. 

Researchers based at Hayward House Specialist Palliative Care Unit at Nottingham City Hospital will be using the experiences and data from patients being treated for COVID-19 to inform national guidelines on better care.

NUH is part of a team of scientists and nurses, led from the University of Exeter, researching nursing care for patients in hospital with COVID-19. Funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the team will  evaluate a system of nursing care designed specifically for COVID patients in a large clinical trial across the UK. 

Over 5,000 patients have received their medication without taking a trip to the hospital thanks to a Trust Pharmacy initiative that helps protect the most vulnerable people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) is one of only three NHS Trusts in the country currently conducting diagnostic tests for COVID-19.

NUH is among a group of hospitals driving a national surveillance study which is gathering data about new-born babies who have COVID-19, or those born to mothers with the virus.
