Main Duties

It is a particularly exciting time to join our Trust due to a series of recent developments. Our Way Forward Programme is helping to expand and integrate all our urgent and emergency care services, along with a brand-new Urgent Treatment Centre. To continue the development of services, we have recently purchased a plot of land next to the hospital and have exciting plans for a state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre. We are also incredibly proud to have recently opened a new Radiotherapy Centre, in partnership with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, bringing treatment closer to home for thousands of patients.

Integrated Care and Community is a large and diverse Division consisting of Community Nursing, Virtual Ward, Therapy services, Urgent Care response, End of Life services, Outpatients, Cancer services and community beds. The community service received a CQC Good rating for both community and inpatient provision.
