Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS foundation trust that provides physical, mental health and social care for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset. Its services are delivered at community bases, hospitals, clinics and people's homes.

Contents

The trust has close links to the universities of Oxford, Oxford Brookes, Buckinghamshire, Reading and Bath. They are part of the Oxford Academic Health Science Centre, working closely with university colleagues to translate their findings into clinical care as quickly as possible, enabling people using the services to benefit from the latest advances in healthcare.

The trust has established a Street Triage scheme where mental health professionals work alongside police officers between 5pm and 4.30am every day so they can offer face-to-face advice, make accurate risk assessments and give care to the patient. It aims to avoid using custody as a place of safety and reduce the amount of time police officers spend on mental health incidents. [3]

Organisational history

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust was formed in February 2011 by the merger of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (OBMH) and Community Health Oxfordshire. [4] [5]

Before becoming a NHS foundation trust on 1 April 2008 the trust was named Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (OBMH). [5] The partnership NHS Trust was formed on 1 April 2006 by the merger of Oxfordshire Mental Healthcare NHS Trust and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Trust. Oxfordshire Mental Healthcare NHS Trust had been established in April 1994, and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Trust in April 2001. [5]

History

Since April 2010, the trust has provided tiers 3 and 4 of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Wiltshire and Bath and North East Somerset following a competitive tender. Previously this service had been operated by three providers, though primarily the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust. The service is jointly funded by the NHS England and local authorities. [6]

The Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group established a five-year outcome based contract with the trust in September 2015. Twenty per-cent of the funding will be based on seven outcomes:

In July 2016, it was announced that the trust would take over community learning disability services in Oxfordshire from Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust as part of a plan to reduce the area served by the Southern trust. [8]
