Patients on some of our wards have had a virtual visit from the Easter Bunny. The bunny appeared live online, on a laptop, at the bedside of 33 children.

The procurement of products and services is our largest contributor to our carbon footprint. Work is being undertaken to make our supply chain more carbon neutral but there are direct actions we can do now to reduce waste, particularly when it comes to medicine and food waste.

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG is doing all it can to help residents get the care they need and ease pressures on NHS services this Easter.

“Our message to patients is that we may need to move you out of hospital – either into a bed in the community or with your loved ones if they can support your care at home - whilst you wait for your care package to become available.  You will be supported once you leave hospital which will make sure that we have the capacity to care for unwell patients who need a bed”.

One of the core elements of NUH’s Green Plan is sustainable travel and the need to promote more cycling and walking, electric vehicles and public transport.

The nature of healthcare work means that it is energy intensive with electrical power needed to operate buildings and clinical and office equipment as well as heat to regulate building temperature for patients and staff.
