"Thank you for providing the best possible care for our patients and for your compassionate excellence in spite of the challenges facing us all, both professionally and personally.
"Thank you not only for your excellent care for our patients and their families and carers, but also for caring and looking after each other, your teams and your wider staff networks in the Trust.
"And finally, thank you to our wonderful volunteers and thank you to Oxford Hospitals Charity for working tirelessly alongside us in the Trust to support staff.
"The NHS Birthday is an opportunity for us to look forward to another year as OneTeamOneOUH. We know that we will again be inspired by the reports of your kindness to each other and to our patients, by the exceptional research that leads to transformation of treatments and for our patients' lives and the day-to-day excellence of the care you provide.
