Five year strategy 2021-2026

The Trust strategy sets out Oxford Health’s mission, vision, values and strategic objectives for the next five years (2021-2026). The purpose of the strategy is to act as a guide for future activity and planning across the Trust, and collaborations with other health and care organisations, to improve the overall health of local people.

Read the full strategy

The strategy is grouped into four strategic themes – Quality, People, Sustainability, and Research & Education. Each strategic objective has been worked into a set of key focus areas which seek to describe the objective in more detail and provide a framework for further activity and planning.

The Trust has commenced development of its new strategy covering 2026 – 2031. The new strategy is due to be approved by the Board in July 2026. Our new Chair will have the opportunity to influence development of that new strategy before it is finalised.
