‘I’ve got two big ones’
In 1992 I started a degree in civil engineering at the University of Surrey. I had no idea until the day I arrived that I would be sharing a room with Carol, also a civil engineering student. We had very different tastes in music. I loved the Cure and Led Zeppelin and Carol loved dance music. We created a mixtape of songs that we both liked – no mean feat, but we had to do something as I kept playing 29 Palms by Robert Plant and it drove Carol mad.

PHYSIOTHERAPISTS at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) have been shortlisted for a major award in recognition of their life-saving work with Covid-19 patients. The team used CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) therapy to treat hundreds of patients on the Covid wards at the BRI, reducing the need for people to be intubated. In recognition of their work, the physiotherapists have been nominated in the prestigious Health Service Journal (HSJ) Value Awards 2021. Their project ‘Utilisation of CPAP by Physiotherapists’ has been shortlisted in the Post-Covid Sustainable Transformation Award category. Dr Tom Lawton, an Intensive Care Consultant (ICU) and Anaesthetist at the Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, nominated the team for the award.
Trevor and Martin A Malmesbury inventor has brought joy to care home residents and staff with his latest piece of art. Tom Lawton, founder of Uplifting Products, attended an emotional virtual event at Hyperion House Care Home in Fairford as they unveiled his artwork Blueprint of a Rainbow. The inventor had decided before Christmas to donate one of his limited edition rainbow prints to brighten up key worker spaces in or close to his community. Several venues were nominated by members of the public, and one was Hyperion House Care Home. He said: “I believe passionately in giving back and I wanted to support key workers. I put out a request for nominations and Hyperion House Care Home stood out for me. I felt that it would bring joy to those working hard to keep us safe and the residents.
