Bosses at Nottingham's hospitals have said that patient safety is 'absolutely paramount'
Bosses at Nottingham's hospitals have said that patient safety is "absolutely paramount" as nurses prepare to go on strike. Members of the Royal College of Nursing at Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital will take industrial action tomorrow .
Nottingham University Hospitals said some appointments and elective surgeries had been postponed as a result. Lisa Kelly, chief operating officer, said: “Patient safety is absolutely paramount and it remains imperative that any members of the public that need care continue to come forward as normal, especially in emergency and life-saving cases.“Our hospitals remain open and we are working hard to keep patients safe during strikes, while delivering the best care possible.
NUH urged patients who need urgent medical care to continue coming in as normal. In England, almost half of NHS trusts failed to meet the legally-required minimum turnout threshold to take strike action. Staff at four Nottinghamshire NHS organisations voted to strike last month.
