The trust that runs Nottingham's two main hospitals has confirmed it's cancelling operations and outpatient clinics this week.

It's cancelled 58 routine operations, external and seven outpatients clinics after NHS England urged hospitals to consider the move to manage winter pressures.
Hundreds of non-urgent operations have also been postponed at hospitals in Leicester and Derby for the same reason.

A new way to tackle work days lost to stress will be tried at Nottinghamshire County Council.

The scheme would also help women returning after maternity leave.
Image source, ThinkstockNationally 22.2% of sick leave in local government is because of work-related stress but Nottinghamshire's rate is lower at 17.7%.
The authority says it wants to reduce this figure further.

A cycle path is to be moved from one side of a road to the other just a year after being installed - provoking anger from some road users.
The route was installed by Nottingham City Council in 2016 as part of wider traffic management in the Lenton area.
However, some Abbey Street residents complained it had caused problems by taking away on-street parking.
Image source, GooglePlans for three months of roadworks to move the lane have been called "mad" and "absolutely disgraceful".
The council has now admitted this caused parking issues in surrounding streets and will remove one of the single paths and expand the one opposite into a two-way cycle lane.
The authority said it had carried out an extensive consultation on the original scheme and the route had seen a 15% rise in cycle journeys but it was "impossible to predict" exactly how road users would "use the space".
Work will begin on 15 January and is due to last 12 weeks.
