Press and media

Nottinghamshire Healthcare are working to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and media reporting plays a key role in this.

If you are writing or producing a story about mental health we urge all media to follow the Samaritans’ media guidelines for reporting on self-harm and suicide content. 

All press and media enquiries should be directed to the Trust’s Communications Team.  

Office hours

During office hours (Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm) all media enquiries should be made via the Communications Team on the main communications number: 0115 993 4530.

If the enquiry is not urgent, the team can also be contacted via email communications@nottshc.nhs.uk Please note - this mailbox is not monitored outside of office hours.

Out of hours

Please contact the Trust's main switchboard on 0115 969 1300 and ask for the Executive Director on call who will deal with all urgent media enquiries.

Filming, photography and interview requests

All requests for filming, photography or interviews must be made via the Communications Team. Under no circumstances should filming, photography or interviews be undertaken on the Trust's premises without permission from the Communications Team.

Our brand, identity and style guide

Our brand is designed to reflect the ethos and values of the Trust. This is more than a logo; it is an identity. A great brand communicates effectively who you are are and what you stand for. The brand symbolises everything that Nottinghamshire Healthcare is about. It is about people - our staff, volunteers, carers, service users and patients and our partners in other organisations and the community - and the way we are all linked together, in teamwork, collaboration and making a difference.
