Janet Sampson, Knowledge, Library & Information Services Manager
A long-serving member of the Library and Information team, Janet is employed by Doncaster Council but she is still thoroughly embedded in Team DBTH and is treasured throughout the organisation.
Janet has overseen much in her time at DRI, having spearheaded the development of the multi-professional Learning Resource Centre that we know and love today. Her steadfast leadership has enabled the trust to achieve the highest possible score in its last two LQAF assessments, which is a distinction that only a handful of trusts in the region have earned.
Finally, Janet’s staff are quick to praise her legendary attention to detail, along with her remarkable wisdom, warmth, humour and dedication. As a considerate, patient teacher, she will always find time within her busy work-schedule to support others in whatever they need.
Good luck Janet!
Pauline Foulstone, Jasmine Centre Lead Sister
Consistently putting her staff and patients at the forefront of everything she does, Pauline always goes the extra mile. She is a true pillar of the Jasmine Centre at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
No matter what is happening in her own life, she can be relied upon to make time for others, often staying after hours in order to ensure that all clinic work is completed.
Likewise, if a visitor is experiencing anxiety, then Pauline will readily be on hand to provide reassurance and the patients clearly value her as a source of comfort. In all, Pauline is a true credit to Team DBTH, proudly representing the Trust’s values on a daily basis.
Good luck Pauline!
