Local hospitals announce annual award shortlist

Each and every year Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) host an awards evening to celebrate the outstanding work of individuals and teams at the local Trust.

Presented by BBC Look North’s Harry Gration, there are 11 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: “These awards are one of our most important events of the year. 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.”
