Our Emergency Department is very busy right now and some people are experiencing long waits. If you do not require emergency care, please use an alternative such as 111 online.
You can also catch up with the daredevil antics of our hospital charity; they’ve been walking barefoot over hot coals and broken glass to raise funds – and even fire-breathing.
The real reason behind many of these latest fundraising efforts is a serious one – to help people with dementia. On page 3, our own Kelly Furniss from Procurement tells us her moving story of being a carer for her mum who has dementia. Our lovely respiratory team appear on page 4 with their tips for keeping warm and well.
Barnsley Hospital News can be found inside the Barnsley Chronicle (published on Friday 1 December). We hope you enjoy this issue, and don’t forget to try your luck in the raffle. A Christmas hamper and a chocolate hamper are also up for grabs. Season’s greetings to all!
