One million letters saved. Faster communication. Better patient experience.

Nottingham University Hospitals has transformed the way appointment, patient and GP letters are sent through a new automated digital system.

✅ Over 1 million physical letters avoided
✅ Around £200,000 savings expected within two years
✅ 99% of GP letters now delivered digitally
✅ Faster, more secure communication for patients and clinicians
✅ Reduced carbon emissions – equivalent to taking 6 cars off the road for a year

As part of our People First Transformation Programme and Nervecentre EPR rollout, the new system is helping patients get information more quickly while supporting our commitment to a greener, more efficient NHS.

We welcomed the BBC to Linden Lodge at City Hospital today to meet our amazing patient Flynn and his mum Mel.
They were joined by some of our incredible Occupational Therapists Julia and Natasha who (along with all our staff at City and QMC) have, according to Flynn, “helped me and my family massively”.
Flynn and his Mum were also reunited with the East Midlands Ambulance Service staff who were first on the scene and also responsible for Flynn being alive today!
This is one not to be missed!!
You can hear and watch Flynn’s story on tv, radio and online next week!
