Barnsley Hospital News – out for NHS birthday

Barnsley Hospital News is out today on the eve of the 77th NHS birthday. The NHS could not have achieved all it has without the skill and dedication of its people. We would like to thank each and every one of our NHS workers and volunteers.

We also thank you, our wider Barnsley community, for supporting us in all kinds of ways - including fundraising for our charity. 

This edition of Barnsley Hospital News features pictures from Nurses’ Day and Midwives’ Day alongside reflections on a long career from Director of Nursing, Sarah Moppett, and thoughts from our outgoing Chair Sheena on big strides we’ve made in local healthcare.

Highlights include:

A patient story from John, who’s recovering well after hi-tech knee surgery.

A spotlight on the Gastro team’s work treating complex conditions.

News of a major £250,000 Breast Unit appeal by the hospital charity, aiming to create a more patient-friendly environment. Lead Nurse Lisa shares her personal experience with breast cancer, encouraging public donations.

How far the hospital has come in its mission to go green - cutting carbon, saving cash, and setting a strong example.

Barnsley Hospital News is also available with this week’s edition of the Barnsley Chronicle and on the hospital website.
