The first coronavirus patient at Oxford University Hospitals Trust was admitted for treatment on 4 February 2020.

To mark the anniversary, a book of pictures documenting the extraordinary period has been published and all trust staff who have requested a copy will get one free.

Beyond Words - Images from the COVID-19 Pandemic - forms part of the trust's staff support programme.

It said the book was an opportunity to reflect on the challenges of the past two years personally and professionally.
