Personnel management: commissioning in Oxford.
In July this year, the closure of Cowley Road Hospital marked the completion of the biggest organisational change in Oxford's hospitals since the Radcliffe Infirmary first opened 200 years ago on St Luke's Day in 1770. The staff and geriatric patients from Cowley Road moved to the partly vacated infirmary and the Churchill Hospital for the purposes of rehabilitation and continuing care. Some of the acute beds had already moved to the John Radcliffe for the integration of general medicine and geriatric admissions, writes David Charles-Edwards, personnel officer, Oxford AHA.
