Some great news for young audiology patients in Banbury ⬇️

Some great news for young audiology patients in Banbury and the surrounding areas – a new facility is currently in development to bring care closer to home at the Horton General Hospital.

The facility will provide a dedicated, fit-for-purpose environment for paediatric audiology services. It will include a soundproof room with specialist equipment, enabling clinicians to carry out a range of hearing assessments for children.

The project represents an investment of approximately £300,000, and is expected to be completed in October.

✨ With our Staff Recognition Awards taking place on Thursday 18 June, we’ll be shining a spotlight on some of this year’s brilliant finalists.

First up is Jason Rigby, Senior Operational Facilities Manager, shortlisted in the Compassion category for the difference he’s made as Director of the Horton Power Choir 🎶

Nominated by a colleague, Jason was praised for putting staff at the heart of everything he does, creating “an environment of encouragement and worth”.

What started as a choir in 2023 has grown into a real wellbeing community of more than 70 colleagues and “become so much more than a choir”.

Jason said: “It is a privilege to have founded and run this hospital choir. I do all I can to align the choir to the Trust values and put wellbeing at the centre of its purpose.

“All the work required to make the choir operational is repaid in droves - when you watch a choir member arrive at rehearsal having had a tough day, and then leave with a smile on their face having embraced the community that is offered within the choir, nothing beats it.”

Huge congratulations to Jason and all our finalists – and good luck on awards night!
