Inpatients
Our ambition is to provide health services that focus on both current and future health needs, placing patients at the centre of everything. This approach, called "Putting the Patient First," aims to deliver a new, patient-centred experience in hospitals.
What our patients say
The results of the Care Quality Commission's last annual inpatients survey put Sherwood Forest Hospitals in the top 20% of trusts in the country for a whole host of inpatient services and facilities, including:
- Choice and quality of hospital food
- Clear explanation of medicines
- Privacy when being treated and examined
- Providing same-sex accommodation
- Clean environment
- Confidence in nurses
- Quiet atmosphere at night
This great achievement reflects the outstanding commitment of all staff to providing first-class care for our patients.
We are a smokefree Trust
Smoking tobacco and cigarettes at all Sherwood Forest Hospital sites is not permitted. This applies to all patients, visitors and staff. Please do not smoke anywhere inside or outside of our hospital buildings.
The use of e-cigarettes is permitted on our sites. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can be made available to you free of charge to help you become smokefree.
Help and support to stop smoking
Our clinical team can support you to stop smoking during your stay with us.
For free help and support to stop smoking, visit the Smokefree website or call their free National Helpline on 0300 123 1044 to speak to a trained, expert adviser. All lines are open Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 11am to 4pm.
