IN just two short weeks the finalists of the Oxfordshire Health & Social Care Awards will be revealed. Our judges are currently hard at work narrowing down their shortlist. The three finalists in every category will be announced in a special supplement later this month, profiling each hopeful and their efforts in the fight against coronavirus. While we eagerly await the panel’s decision, this week we’re turning the spotlight once again on some of the incredible healthcare teams, frontline workers and volunteers currently in the running for an accolade.

She was put forward for the award by Shila Odedra-Silvera, head of business development at Oxford Aunts.
