Support your local hospital heroes

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) is making preparations to hold its annual staff awards ceremony, thanking local healthcare heroes for their hard work and dedication throughout the past 12 months.

Each year, the Trust hosts the ‘Star Awards’ supported by local businesses and enterprises who sponsor award categories. This gives organisations an opportunity to support their local hospitals, and the health professionals who look after us in our greatest time of need.

This year’s event will take place on 19 September at the Doncaster Dome, hosted by BBC Look North presenter, Harry Gration OBE.

Sponsorship packages start from just £500 and are bundled with advertisement opportunities to the Trust’s over 6,600 staff and 16,000 members, as well as free tickets to the catered event. If you, or your organisation are interested in sponsoring the ceremony, please call 01302 644244 for a sponsorship brochure or head to www.dbth.nhs.uk.

Suzy Brain England OBE, Chair of the Board at the Trust, said: “These awards are one of our most important events of the year. We know that our staff make 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 remarkable 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.”

Nominations for the awards are open now and anyone can nominate a member of the team who they think deserves recognition. If you have visited Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw Hospital or Montagu Hospital in the last year and came across someone exceptional who went above and beyond to make your experience better, consider nominating them for an award before the deadline of 26 June 2019.
