I say this every year, but it doesn’t make it any less true: I’ve left a lot on the table this year. So many people stepped up and did incredible things in 2020. There were thousands of people who achieved amazing things, faced the pandemic battle on the front lines, gave back, received awards and impacted lives. I try to do 100 new names every year and not repeat any from previous lists. That said, I’ve still got dozens of names to carry forward to next year. Please stay safe and look after yourself. All the best, always.

A MAJOR expansion and redevelopment of housing for Oxford NHS staff has started. Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) and housing provider A2Dominion are working together on the scheme, which has been described as essential for recruiting and retaining staff. The affordable housing next to the Headington hospital site will include 125 flats in Ivy Lane for John Radcliffe workers and 19 in Churchill Drive for Churchill Hospital employees. Construction on the Churchill Drive homes began this month as the first phase of the project which will require demolishing the original hospital accommodation. As well providing upgraded housing it will also create an additional 51 homes across both sites, which will be able to house approximately 430 staff.
