Get involved in transforming your mental health services
Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to get involved in transforming mental health services where you live.
We’ve been working with our community partners to transform mental health services to make them easier to access and navigate.
Our service user and carer engagement group for the Community Transformation Programme in Greenwich and Bromley, is looking for service users or carers to get involved and share their feedback and help us further develop our work.
The views of any service user who has had experience of accessing mental health services, or carer who is supporting a loved one to access services in Greenwich or Bromley would be most welcome.
The next meeting is due to take place on Wednesday 4 May from 6pm to 7pm and will be held virtually via MS Teams.
Meetings will then be held weekly. You will be asked to read documents beforehand and to comment on them from a lived experience perspective. It’s OK if you don’t feel able to share your experience during the online sessions, that information can be shared in other formats. You will also receive an hourly rate of £11.05 for attending meetings and for any reading preparation you do.
If you are interested in attending on 4 May, please email: oxl-tr.involved@nhs.net with a few words on why you would like to get involved.
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:

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.
