New members are always welcome to join Oxford Health.

Membership is free and carries no obligations.

There are many ways how you can get involved and help improve your local NHS services.

You help us make things better

The trust board depends on the membership to keep them in touch with what’s needed in our hospitals and services. Our members help us discover how best to improve services, making sure that we put patients’ and local communities’ needs first.

Membership is free and everyone over 12 years old, living in England and Wales, is welcome to join. You have no obligations as a member but there are lots of ways to get involved.

And by signing up you can show your support to the services you value.

What they say

“I became a member because I’m a carer for my son. I wanted to meet people who know and care about mental health care. It’s important for me to feel that I am doing my bit; that I support the people who work here.”
