Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has introduced a five-year strategy covering 2026 to 2031, with the aim of improving health and care services and helping people achieve the best possible quality of life.
The strategy was developed with contributions from patients, carers, families and partner organisations.
Its priorities include providing care shaped by individual needs, simplifying services, strengthening cooperation between health and care partners, and reducing health inequalities.
Michael Holland, chief executive of Oxford Health, said the strategy represented an early major action in his role.
He said the trust intended to be ambitious about its contribution to local communities and to improving care experiences and outcomes for the people using its services.
The new plan also supports delivery of the Government’s 10-year health plan.
Oxford Health said community involvement would be central to translating its priorities into practical action.
The organisation acknowledged that the launch marked only the start of the programme.
It will continue working with patients, families, carers, local communities and partners to implement the strategy, with the expectation that this work will produce tangible improvements for the people the trust serves during the next five years.
