Brian James, chief executive, said: "We're delighted to get this award and it's a wonderful tribute to all our staff.

“We aim to provide the best possible healthcare to all the communities we serve and it's nice that the passion and dedication of our staff can be recognised in this way.

"Because these awards are independently assessed they are more valuable to us. The judges review a significant range of quality and performance indicators before deciding on the winners, so it is a great honour.

“Awards are always nice to receive but what is really important to us is that this increasingly reflects the experience our patients take away from Rotherham Hospital."
