The health service aims to ensure at least 95 per cent of patients are seen before that time.
Overall, 27 per cent of patients across England were waiting longer, the official figures show.
After NUH — where 8,656 people were waiting in emergency rooms — the next worst trust for waiting times was the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust.
Some 6,167 patients, or 48 per cent, of patients waited longer than four hours.
It was followed by Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (48 per cent), Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (47 per cent) and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (47 per cent).
Miriam Deakin, of NHS Providers said: “Hospital trusts are working incredibly hard to respond to rising demand by seeing more patients than ever before.
“This is remarkable given the relentless pressure on urgent and emergency care services and the wider sector.
“However, demand continues to outstrip capacity, which means too many patients are having to wait longer for care and treatment.
“Shortages of staff, beds and equipment, as well as the need for proper investment in the NHS estate, social care, and more preventative support, are putting the health service under an alarming level of stress.”
The figures come from August, when British Medical Association junior doctors and consultants went on strike for six days in total.
Some 61,000 appointments were cancelled or postponed during the trainee medics walkout from August 11 to 15.
In total, more than 1million appointments will have been cancelled by the end of this month because of ongoing industrial action.
Ms Deakin said: “Strikes are piling on the pressure.
“This is incredibly distressing for all involved as trust leaders and their staff are unable to give patients the timely, high-quality care they deserve.
“We desperately need better investment in capital as well as confirmation of how committed funds will deliver the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan.
“The most pressing need, though, is a resolution to the strikes. This can only be found by Government and unions talking to each other about pay.”
Dr Tasso Gazis, of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust said: “We recognise the challenges faced in our Emergency Department and know that we need to do better for our patients.
“We have introduced a number of initiatives to improve wait times, like virtual wards and a same day emergency care unit which mean patients are able to get the care they need without an unnecessary trip to our emergency department.
“Our staff are working incredibly hard to ensure patients with the most urgent medical needs are prioritised whilst demand on our services remains high.
“We ask the public to continue to help us by thinking carefully about which NHS services they use. If you are unsure, visit NHS 111 online and they will direct you to the best place for your care.”
