research winners with certificate

It was a big night of celebrations for the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Research Team who won all three categories they were shortlisted for at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) CRN Yorkshire and Humber Research Awards 2022, held in Leeds last night.

Research Nurse Sarah Buckley won Research Nurse/Midwife of the Year for the innovative research work she undertook during the pandemic and the invaluable support she gave to the Trust’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Sarah was Principal Investigator to the CCP Cancer-UK study, whilst also setting up and opening several new ICU trials, principally the RECOVERY trial. She also worked on the PROVENT study, where she helped recruit the first patient in the world.

The Wakefield Research Hub Collaboration took home the accolade for Best Contribution in a Non-NHS Setting. The Wakefield Care Homes Research project is delivered by Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust on behalf of Wakefield Research Hub and led by Shannen Beadle, Research Nurse. In just 12 months, the team successfully supported and worked with eight care homes who have taken part in three studies; OPTIMAL care, SAFEST and CONTACT.

The team have been fundamental in connecting care homes with the trial teams and supporting the set up and delivery of the studies, bringing research opportunities to new settings in Wakefield. The Wakefield Research Hub is a place based research collaborative founded by the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, Connexus, South West Yorkshire Partnership Foundation Trust, Wakefield CCG, Wakefield Council and the Yorkshire Ambulance Service.

The Wakefield Together Research Partnership closed the evening of wins with the Contribution to COVID-19 Research award for their hard work and dedication delivering the PROVENT Astra Zeneca monoclonal antibody trial.

The Partnership between the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, Spectrum Community Health CIC, Wakefield Council, Connexus, the National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network, Bradford and Craven CCG, the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust and the South-West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust achieved ‘global first’ status– recruiting a Mid Yorks NHS nurse as the first patient to take part in the trial. This partnership has already been nationally recognised for its excellent work, having won the Pharma Times Clinical Site Team of the Year 2021 award for this collaboration.

Trudie Davies, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive at the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust said;

“I am delighted to hear that we won all three categories we were shortlisted for at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) CRN Yorkshire and Humber Research Awards 2022 and that the Mid Yorks Research team are being recognised for the incredible work they do, I have no doubt everyone in the team is feeling very proud.

“Sarah Buckley is a dedicated and inspirational Research Nurse who has worked in the Trust for over 20 years, supporting research in a number of areas including acute care and breast cancer, she is a credit to our Trust and an inspiration to us all.

Congratulations to our partner organisations too, it is our shared ambition to achieve great things together that won us these awards.”
