Media enquiries

During office hours, all media enquiries should be directed to the Communications Team on 02476 967598 or 02476 967597 where they will be dealt with appropriately. This is particularly important in ensuring that information given about University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust is accurate, consistent and up to date.

Out-of-hours and weekends

Outside office hours, if you have an urgent query this should be left at 07798 846767 and we will do our best to get back to you. However, please note that this is for urgent messages only - all others will be dealt with during office hours as normal media queries.  

Condition checks

Patient condition checks should be referred to the Communications Team during office hours on 024 7696 7597. Please note that with requests for patient information the Press Office first needs to seek consent from the patient/relatives. Without consent, no patient information can be disclosed.

Filming requests

University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust receive many requests for documentary and location filming. All proposals will be considered and accommodated where possible or appropriate. Proposals for filming can be emailed to the Communications Team.
