The South London Partnership is bringing great healthcare together
Since 2017, the South London Mental Health and Community Partnership (SLP) has worked tirelessly to bring together colleagues working for Oxleas, South London and Maudsley and South West London and St George’s - south London’s three main NHS mental health trusts.
With so much experience available and ground-breaking innovations being shared, the SLP has helped improve quality and deliver the best care consistently to many of the 3.6 million patients in south London.
Together the partnership has achieved many notable improvements, such as significantly reducing out of area placements (meaning that patients stay closer to home and family), introducing the Employee Passport, allowing nurses and other staff to move quickly and easily between trusts helping to fill roles in services that need their expertise, reducing nursing vacancy rates, developing nursing careers and increasing apprenticeship opportunities.
Watch our short clip, where South London Partnership’s Jeremy Walsh gives us an update on how things are progressing and what we can look forward to in the future:
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.
