Caring, safe and excellent

Governance

At present, we have encountered techincal difficulties in accessing Governance papers and uploading current Board papers. The matter is in hand and should be resolved swiftly. We apologise for the inconvenience in this matter.

We remain part of the NHS family but have the freedom to innovate and develop in the best interests of our patients. The governance arrangements are designed to help Trusts like ours reflect the needs of the communities they serve.

Our Board of Directors, which includes our Chairman, seven Non-Executive Directors, the Chief Exective and six Executive Directors, make decisions about the operational management of the Trust.  The Board of Directors sets the overall strategic direction of the Trust within the context of NHS priorities.

Our Council of Governors, which includes our Chairman and 35 Governors, brings the views and interests of the public, patients, carers, our staff and other stakeholders into the heart of our governance.

Within Oxford Health NHS FT  our Trust Secretary is responsible for managing the Corporate Governance arrangements. If you have any questions about these or about Foundation Trusts in general then please contact Justinian Habner on: 01865 782194 or

We are a Foundation Trust which is a special kind of organisation within the NHS
