Patient involvement
The experience and involvement team works across the trust to understand the experience of those who use our services.
With a member in each directorate, we use their expertise to help improve our services.
How can I get involved?
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.
Involvement forums
We host a variety of forums across the trust, each tailored to different areas of interest or support. These forums focus on:
- Specific areas of the trust – e.g., Our Voice: Oxfordshire Mental Health.
- Particular diagnoses or conditions – e.g., the Eating Disorder Forum.
- Specific groups of people – e.g., the Carers Forum.
Below, you’ll find a full list of the forums we offer, along with insights from members who are part of these groups.
