Opportunities to get involved and have your say
Supported by our governors, our focus groups give members the opportunity to improve our services by having a say on a range of topics affecting our patients and visitors.
Our members can get involved through our wider Involved programme, with invitations to participate in key workstreams, service developments, interview panels and through sharing their lived experience with Oxleas staff and partners. Sign-up to our Involvement Register may be required.
We also promote external opportunities for people to get involved in projects, surveys, plans and developments with partner organisations and from across our South East London Integrated Care System.
National patient feedback survey for mental health crisis care services
NHS England would like to hear from people who have accessed crisis mental health care services through the NHS 111 ‘select mental health option’ service. We have published a survey to gather feedback on how people are finding the service and the quality of support they have received. Responses collected through the survey will be analysed to identify areas where improvements can be made to enhance the quality of care provided.
The survey can be found here
Showcase events and exhibitions
We hold events to exhibit and showcase our work and promote opportunities to get involved.
Our workshops, run by our health professionals, help you make better decisions about your health and to give you the knowledge about health-related topics.
