flag Nottingham hospitals declare critical incident due to A&E overload from respiratory illnesses and elderly patient surge.

flag Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has declared a critical incident due to extreme pressure on its A&E departments, driven by a surge in respiratory illnesses and a high number of elderly patients. flag Over half of adult beds are occupied by those over 80, and delays in discharges due to limited home care are worsening congestion. flag The trust urges the public to avoid non-urgent A&E visits, use 111 or pharmacies instead, and help get loved ones home when medically ready. flag Staff are under significant strain, and the situation follows similar incidents in January and November, reflecting ongoing NHS challenges during winter.
