Local hospitals announce annual award shortlist

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) is set to host its first awards evening for almost three years in October, celebrating the outstanding work of individuals and teams at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw Hospital and Montagu Hospital.

Presented by Heart Yorkshire’s Richard ‘Dixie’ Dickson and to take place on Thursday 20 October, the Trust’s Star Awards features 10 categories this year, covering awards for every area of expertise within the NHS. The event is an opportunity to recognise those individuals and teams that go above and beyond, ensuring patients receive the highest quality of care.

Suzy Brain England OBE, Chair of the Board at DBTH, said: “This ceremony is one of our most important events of the year – and something we have had to, sadly, postpone, throughout the course of the pandemic and we are thrilled to see it return. We know that our staff make some outstanding contributions to healthcare every day and this is our opportunity to get together and celebrate these achievements so they know their efforts have not gone unnoticed.

“Each time I attend the ceremony I am inspired by the stories of how members of Team DBTH have gone that extra mile to show they care about our patients, about their colleagues and about the people of Doncaster and Bassetlaw.

“Our judging panel has had a mammoth task this year, whittling down more than 500 nominations to the shortlist we have today – with such stiff competition, we know that each and every one is a deserved winners and I wish everybody the very best of luck.

“I also want to thank our kind sponsors, without whom we wouldn’t be able to organise such a wonderful evening for colleagues: Wagestream, Fleet Solution, Genesis, BPP University, Tusker, University of Sheffield, Doncaster College, Sheffield Hallam University, Smith and Nephew and Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals’ Charity.”
