Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust was formed in February 2011 by the merger of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (OBMH) and Community Health Oxfordshire. Before becoming a NHS foundation trust on 1 April 2008 the trust was named Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (OBMH). The partnership NHS Trust was formed on 1 April 2006 by the merger of Oxfordshire Mental Healthcare NHS Trust and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Trust. Oxfordshire Mental Healthcare NHS Trust had been established in April 1994, and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Trust in April 2001. ==History==

Since April 2010, the trust has provided tiers 3 and 4 of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Wiltshire and Bath and North East Somerset following a competitive tender. Previously this service had been operated by three providers, though primarily the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust. The service is jointly funded by the NHS England and local authorities. The Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group established a five-year outcome based contract with the trust in September 2015. Twenty per-cent of the funding will be based on seven outcomes: • People living longer • People more able to function • Timely access to support • Carers feeling supported • People having a meaningful role in society • People having stable accommodation • People having improved physical health In July 2016, it was announced that the trust would take over community learning disability services in Oxfordshire from Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust as part of a plan to reduce the area served by the Southern trust. In 2022 the trust implemented an electronic prescribing and medication administration solution from Better Meds. The trust is one of the NHS global digital exemplars using cloud-based technology. ==See also==
