Look how Doncaster doctors and nurses transformed Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody with their own amazing song and dance routine

From ‘sister, just saved a man’ in place of ‘mama, just killed a man’, to switching the last line from ‘nothing really matters to me’ to ’caring really matters to me’, they have re-written the song and put together their own dance routine to go with it, to mark International Nurses Day amid the fight against the coronavirus,

David Purdue, director of dnursing, and deputy chief executive, said: “Prior to the onset of Coronavirus, we had a number of things planned to mark International Nurses Day, the majority of which has now been postponed and alternative arrangements made for the time being.

“While we remain focused on our efforts to tackle Covid-19, we wanted to take some time to thank our nursing colleagues.

“Our clinicians do such a fantastic job each and every day, and their efforts throughout the past number of weeks have been nothing short of extraordinary – thank you.”

Most of the video was filmed in mid-February with the choir portion complete, But additional production was cut short as the challenges of Covid-19 loomed.

Although the idea lay dormant for a few months, the video was resurrected with footage and photos taken in the past two months overlaid onto the original choir film, and released as DBTH Rhapsody.

Richard Parker OBE, chief executive at the trust and a registered nurse of over 37 years’ experience, said: “International Nurses Day is a hugely important day in our calendar. Given the unprecedented challenges the NHS has faced, the event is more important than ever, and gives us a chance to reflect and celebrate our wonderful nursing colleagues. On a personal note, I want to share my thanks and appreciation; the dedication of our nurses is truly amazing and we’re lucky to have them working at our hospitals.”

The Trust’s nursing teams help to care for nearly 125,000 inpatients and around 500,000 outpatients every year. Since March, the team have helped to safely discharged more than 215 patients who are now at home recovering from Covid-19.
