The present Trust was formed on 1st April 2001. We have featured consistently in the list of the Top 40 Hospitals and were awarded a Government Charter Mark on three consecutive occasions.  The Trust was a ‘pilot site’ for the 18 week pathway and in December 2007 was one of only 3 Trusts in the country to achieve the targets identified. We became an NHS Foundation Trust in 2004 and achieved recognition as a Teaching Hospital in 2017.

The Trust provides a wide range of health services at our three hospitals (Bassetlaw Hospital in Worksop, Doncaster Royal Infirmary, and Montagu Hospital, Mexborough) and community locations, including Retford Hospital and Chequer Road Clinic. We serve a population of approximately 420,000 in a number of community locations, including prisons. We have a full range of district general hospital services, with some regional services. We have 24-hour emergency surgery. 

 In 2014/15 we had a turnover of £355.9m and 172,023 people attended our hospitals for emergency care, 62,975 of whom were admitted to a ward.  We also delivered 5,084 babies and treated 51,962 patients as planned day cases, 10,376 patients having planned inpatient care, and 560,648 outpatients (including maternity but excluding clinical therapies).
