The inpatient cardiac surgery service at Nottingham University Hospitals takes place in the recently opened Trent Cardiac Centre located on the City Hospital campus. It is based around a 16-bed cardiac critical care unit and one 20-bed ward. There are two cardiac catheter laboratories and two cardiac theatres. Thoracic surgery patients have access to the general intensive care and hospital high dependency unit and are managed separately. All cardiac radiographic images are stored digitally and are available for review via a dedicated computer network. Intensive care management is provided jointly by surgeons and anaesthetists, however the anaesthetic team take responsibility for leading a daily ward round and the work is supported by 6 specially trained nurse practitioners, who provide first line management of patients.
