Nottingham's hospitals have issued a message to anyone with flu as NHS bosses across Nottinghamshire ask for the public to help as the healthcare system continues to face sustained pressures.
A message posted on twitter by NUH on Saturday morning states: "Please Help Keep Flu out of our Hospitals If you have symptoms of flu or other respiratory conditions, please don't visit our hospitals. Help us protect our most vulnerable patients and staff and reduce the spread of flu this winter. But please do visit when you're better."
It comes after Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) - which runs the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital - and Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs King’s Mill, Newark and Mansfield Community Hospital, declared an internal 'critical incident' on Thursday (December 29).
