Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) is calling on the public to support them in stopping all smoking on site following a fire that was caused by a discarded cigarette. On the evening of Friday 2 January, a fire was started from a cigarette outside the A&E department at the Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC), which resulted in the Trust going into critical incident. The buildings and grounds of the QMC, Nottingham City Hospital and Ropewalk House have been smokefree since 2006. “We would like to remind all patients, visitors, staff and contractors that our hospital grounds are a strictly no-smoking environment. Staff can access support by contacting the NUH Smokefree Team.
