Become a member today

This is a great time to get involved at Oxleas by joining our member community.

We want to involve a wide range of people and communities in developing and improving Oxleas' services through participation in our Involve programme.

People will also have a voice in wider discussions about local NHS services through our involvement in the south east London Integrated Care System (ICS) called Our Healthier South East London.

Our members and governors are at the centre of our organisation. They are our eyes and ears and provide us with feedback, local knowledge and support. As a member you can be involved as much or as little as you choose. Our governors, with the support of our members, ensure our work is in keeping with our values - we're kind, we're fair, we listen, we care.
