The closest railway station to the Novotel Sheffield Centre is Sheffield Train Station (0.3 miles), a 5 minute walk. Walk along the water cascades towards the traffic lights, continue uphill towards Arundel Gate for 200m, you will see the hotel entrance in front of you.

With regards to parking, this is at the cost of £12.00 for Day Guests and £18.00 for Residents. There are 60 spaces allocated on first come first served basis, however, should the car park get full on any of the days there is a backup which is Q-Park located just next door. Parking payments at the hotel can be made at the kiosk located at reception. Alternatively, QR codes for payment are available on the signage displayed both in the car park and at reception.

Once at the Novotel Sheffield Centre the conference will take place in the Furnival Suite.

"Excellent discussions and speakers. Really useful and interesting to listen to different experiences across the country. Excellent collaborative approach to discussions and learning."

"It was good to hear what other colleagues were experiencing - to debate the challenges and to offer collaborative support."

"It was great to bring Clinical, Data analysis and managers together to have meaningful conversation about affecting change in Organ utilisation and shared learning across organ specialities."

"Lectures were short and precise. Content was relevant. I think the best part was the interactive nature of the conference - ample time was allocated for questions and discussion and this made the day the most useful out of all the NOUCs to date."
