Hospital staff celebrate achievements at Heart Awards

Barnsley Hospital was thrilled to hold its annual ‘Heart Awards’ again this year at the Holiday Inn, Dodworth.

The glitzy, black-tie evening, hosted by radio and TV presenter Stephanie Hirst, was attended by almost 200 guests who enjoyed a three-course meal and award presentation, then danced the night away. 

The hospital had a fantastic number of over 200 nominations this year in 11 categories and as always, the judges struggled to choose the winners. Award categories covered dozens of hospital roles as well as awards for Partnerships and Patient Care.  

Barnsley Hospital’s Chief Executive Dr Richard Jenkins said: “The Heart Awards is one of our biggest and most important occasions through the year. It shows and recognizes the outstanding work our colleagues do. A huge well done to everyone who won, was nominated and shortlisted. 

“It was our great pleasure to read through all the nominations, and what a testament they are to all the great work our colleagues and volunteers do every day right across the hospital.”

The hospital thanked all the event sponsors. Dr Jenkins added: “Without our sponsor support, we wouldn’t be able to hold such a fantastic event.”
