About us

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DBTH) is one of Yorkshire’s leading acute NHS trusts, providing care for more than 440,000 people across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and the surrounding areas.

You can read a summary of our performance and achievements during 2025/26 here.

We deliver a comprehensive range of hospital and community-based services across our three main hospitals – Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw Hospital and Montagu Hospital – as well as outpatient clinics and health services at Retford Hospital, the Sandringham Road Clinic and the Flying Scotsman Centre.

As a teaching hospital, we’re proud to help shape the future NHS workforce, training around a quarter of the region’s medical students and almost a third of all other healthcare professional students.

More than 7,000 colleagues work across our Trust, united by the DBTH Way – our shared approach to delivering exceptional healthcare. Underpinned by our We Care values of being kind, keeping respectful and working together, it creates the culture that enables colleagues to thrive and ensures patients receive safe, compassionate, high-quality care.

Our organisational strategy, Healthier Together, supported by our Three Year Plan, sets out how we will continue to improve and modernise our services. Guided by our vision of Delivering Exceptional Healthcare for All, it is built around four strategic priorities – Patients, People, Partnerships and Pounds – alongside long-term ambitions to reduce health inequalities, embrace digital innovation, improve sustainability and strengthen education, research and development.

The strategy aligns closely with the Government’s Fit for the Future: 10-Year Health Plan for England, ensuring our local ambitions support the wider transformation of the NHS over the coming decade.

With a proud history spanning more than 100 years, our hospitals have grown and evolved alongside the communities they serve. Today, we continue to invest in our people, services and estate to meet changing healthcare needs, while remaining committed to delivering exceptional care for generations to come.
