We've also seen a significant increase in trauma and patients falling and fracturing various limbs. So the cold snap has certainly had a very big impact."
"If patients are not sure if they need to come to our emergency department then they should phone 111. If they do come to ED then I'm afraid they're going to be subject to very long waits to be seen and long waits for beds. Staff at three Nottinghamshire NHS organisations voted to strike last month. These are NUH, NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
