The news report won several awards, including the International News Emmy[6]. The British Journalism Review said the "reporting of Sky's Stuart Ramsay, Dominique van Heerden, Garwen McLuckie and Simone Baglivo from Bergamo in March is credited with jolting the UK government towards lockdown. The images of a health service in prosperous Western Europe overrun travelled around the world. It was a brilliant, courageous and utterly traditional television scoop. The Sky team were the first to film something vital unfolding"[7].
In August 2021 he reported from the Afghan capital during the Fall of Kabul.[8]
On 28 February 2022 he was shot and wounded while reporting near Kyiv during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9]
