Residents with Nottingham City Hospital on their doorstep have described life as "handy" but "noisy". People living close to the campus just north of Sherwood spoke about the positives and drawbacks of the location.
Most praised the convenience of the hospital's close proximity. Some raised concerns over the sound of sirens, but said it "isn't much more than normal". Leah Smith, who lives opposite the campus and works there as a student nurse said: "The positive is that I work there, so just across the road. And when I had my baby it was just across the road. When I had my daughter I just walked over there for appointments and scans."
The 29-year-old added: "When I work I can just roll out of bed and go in. I don't think the hospital affects traffic as the shifts mean they don't clash with rush hour. I see a lot of blue flashing lights but that doesn't bother me."
