管理诺丁汉两家主要医院的医疗服务体系信托宣布进入严重事故状态，原因是过去两周急诊科（A&E）出现了有记录以来三次最高的就诊人数。
A critical incident has been declared by the trust that runs Nottingham's two major hospitals after A&E departments saw three of their highest attendances on record over the past two weeks.
诺丁汉大学医院（NUH）国家医疗服务体系信托——该信托运营女王医疗中心和诺丁汉城市医院——表示，患者“在走廊上经历着不可接受且漫长的等待”。
Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS trust - which runs the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital - said patients were "having unacceptable and lengthy waits on corridors".
据NUH称，急诊科内有200多名患者，其中100多人在等待就诊。
According to NUH, there were more than than 200 patients in A&E, with more than 100 waiting to be seen.
首席护士特雷西·皮尔彻表示：“过去24小时里，员工们一直在努力工作，竭尽所能缓解压力，重点是让患者得到诊治并回家。”NUH补充称，在过去两周里，该信托经历了“有记录以来三次最高的就诊人数”。
Chief nurse Tracy Pilcher said: "In the last 24 hours staff have been working hard to do everything they can to mitigate the pressures, focusing on getting patients seen and home." NUH added in the past two weeks, it had seen "three of the highest attendances on record".
该信托表示，9月份的急诊就诊人数比2025年9月多出2000人，导致“持续影响压力”。
In September, there were 2,000 more A&E attendances than it had seen in September 2025, causing an "ongoing impact to pressures", the trust said.
该信托还表示，出现了“特别多的心内科患者，他们需要长时间高强度的护理”，这分流了其他领域的资源。该信托在周二晚间的更新中表示，已有247多名患者安全出院。
It added there had been "particularly high numbers of cardiology patients who require intensive levels of care over prolonged periods of time", which had diverted resource from other areas. In an update on Tuesday evening, the trust said more than 247 patients had been safely discharged.
舍伍德森林国家医疗服务体系基金会信托表示，位于萨顿因阿什菲尔德的金米尔医院急诊科也“很忙”——并呼吁民众仅在真正的紧急情况下使用该科室，并“尽可能考虑其他治疗选择”。“改善我们的处境”NUH此前表示，其医院内有200多名患者已具备出院条件，并敦促家属接走已准备好出院的亲属。
Sherwood Forest NHS Foundation Trust said the emergency department at King's Mill Hospital in Sutton-in-Ashfield was also "busy" - and asked people to only use it for genuine emergencies and to "consider other treatment choices wherever possible". 'Improving our position' NUH previously said it had more than 200 patients in its hospitals who were safe to leave, and urged family members to collect any relatives ready to leave.
皮尔彻补充道：“我们认识到，漫长的候诊等待和走廊护理不是我们的员工想要的工作方式，也不是我们的患者想要的就诊方式，对此我们深表歉意。
Pilcher added: "We recognise that significant waits to be seen and corridor care is not the way our staff want to work or our patients want to be seen, and for that we are very sorry.
“请放心，我们正在竭尽全力，希望我们采取的行动能尽快改善局势。”
"Please be reassured that we are doing all we can and hope that the actions we are taking will improve the situation as soon as possible.
“在患者准备好出院时让他们离开医院，对改善我们的处境至关重要。” 宣布重大事故旨在让患者仔细考虑向英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）的哪个部门寻求治疗。
"Getting patients out of the hospital when they are ready is vital to improving our position." Critical incidents are declared as an attempt to get patients to think carefully about what part of the NHS they seek treatment from.
该医疗信托建议民众，仅在发生严重事故和危及生命的紧急情况时，才拨打 999 或前往急诊科。
The trust advised people to only call 999 or attend emergency departments for serious accidents and for life-threatening emergencies.
该信托表示，紧急治疗中心可处理扭伤、拉伤、疑似骨折、咬伤、割伤、烫伤及其他非紧急状况等伤情。
It said urgent treatment centres could treat injuries including sprains, strains, suspected fractures, bites, cuts, scalds and other non-emergency conditions.
诺丁汉大学医院 NHS 信托补充称，在情况不危及生命时，可通过 NHS 111 在线服务或拨打 111 获得替代支持。
NUH added where the situation was not life-threatening, alternative support would be available through NHS 111 online or by calling 111.
