Calling all young people and carers

Our Bexley CAMHS service is working to redesign and improve how we offer support for children and young people who are struggling with their mental health.

To do this, we want to hear from those who use our service, to share your thoughts and your experiences so we can improve how we support you.

You are invited to come along to our participation group event on Thursday 16 November, from 4.30pm to 6pm, at our Bexley CAMHS hub, at Erith District Hospital, Park Crescent, Erith DA8 3EE.

Why not come along and find out more about our plans which include groups and projects involving young people and their carers? We also welcome your feedback on our building, how you access our service, who should be involved in a patient’s care and any other ideas you may have on how we can do better. Refreshments will be provided.

If you are interested in coming along, please let us know by emailing: oxl-tr.bexleycamhs@nhs.net or call 020 3260 5200 for more information. 

We look forward to seeing you there.

Media enquiries

The communications team provides a point of contact for journalists to respond to all media enquiries.

We are happy to help journalists represent the trust accurately, so please do get in touch to ensure your facts and information are up-to-date before publishing your story.

Our media team is responsible for:

  • Responding to media queries
  • Arranging interviews with our nationally and internationally renowned experts who can talk about some of the trust’s specialist topics

For all media enquiries Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, please email oxl-tr.communications@nhs.net where a member of the team will review and action your request.

If you have an urgent enquiry outside of office hours or at the weekend, please contact our director on call via the Bracton Centre switchboard on 01322 294300.

Filming and photography requests

We receive documentary, location and broadcast filming requests on a regular basis – we consider all proposals on an individual basis and will try to accommodate proposals where possible, if appropriate.

No photography or filming is permitted without prior arrangement and agreement. Our patients always come first and we have a duty to protect their safety and confidentiality. Anyone found filming or taking photographs on the trust premises without the permission of the trust’s communications team will be asked to leave by the security department and may face prosecution. 

Unless agreed otherwise, film crews and photographers must be accompanied by a member of the Communications Team at all times.
