News: Awards for Rotherham medical staff

Staff at Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust are celebrating after their success in the recent British Medical Association Medical Book Competition 2008. The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust won three awards. The Trust’s leaflet, Personal Diary, scooped both the overall Patient Information Resource of the Year Award and the prize for best information publication produced by an NHS Trust. Their leaflet Pain Pain Go Away also won the Patient Information Award (Young People) and was described by its reviewer as "a leaflet that competes very favourably with larger, glossy leaflets from organisations with (presumably) much bigger budgets." The leaflet was produced by Year 4 at Aston Hall Junior & Infant School & The Acute Pain Team at Rotherham General Hospital and uses a child's explanation to help other children to understand pain.
