Patient involvement
There are many different ways in which you can be involved in the work and development of Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. Whether you want to be linked into updates or come in to one of our locations to support staff, these pages provide all the key information you will need.
You can also get in touch by emailing us at Getinvolved@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk.
Improving your care
How you feel about your care is really important to us, and we use your feedback to celebrate good work, and improve what is not so good.
People who are involved in their care report that they have a better experience, and can have better personal outcomes, too. Those who become involved in improving the services they receive often feel a sense of achievement and pride in the work that they do.
Non-urgent advice: Our Experience and Involvement Strategy 2019-21
People who use our services are central to everything we do and the theme of involvement runs through every aspect of the trust. Every member of staff is part of a persons’ experience of receiving care and treatment.
We strive to provide the best possible care and outcomes for the people we work with and believe that involving people who use our services in co-design, co-develop and co-production is simply the right thing to do.
Our Experience and Involvement Strategy for 2019-21 sets out how Oxford Health intends to build and improve on how we work with people of all ages who use our services to ensure we work in partnership with patients, carers, families and professionals. We have worked with partner organisations and sought feedback from all groups in its development.
We have also produced a handy Experience and Involvement booklet.
