Healthwatch Oxfordshire wants to make sure your views are heard in the revised Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Oxfordshire.
This strategy is about you – the people who live and work in Oxfordshire. It is a shared vision to guide what councils, NHS, GPs and others will do together to support you to live a healthy life (from 2024 on). It will tell you what commitments they will make and how they will work with communities and residents to build a healthy Oxfordshire.
Please share your thoughts by completing a short, anonymous survey at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/yourhealthandwellbeing/ by Thursday 31st August.
Members of the Healthwatch Oxfordshire team are attending a wide range of events and locations across Oxfordshire this summer to get people’s views on staying healthy and well.
Healthwatch Oxfordshire and Oxfordshire Community and Voluntary Action (OCVA) are also holding a webinar on Tuesday 5th September from 1pm - 2.30pm for community groups and voluntary sector organisations to share their views on what should be included in the revised Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
Healthwatch Oxfordshire will share what it hears with the Health and Wellbeing Board to ensure your voices are heard in the priorities of the strategy.
For details of all the events we are attending or joining details for the webinar please see www.healthwatchoxfordshire.co.uk/news/staying-healthy-and-well

Telephone system - When you call the surgery you will hear a message and you will be able to hold while you get through to the right person.
We are now using Mjog and AccuRx to message our patients.
Mjog and AccuRx allows us to easily send text messages to patients. It means we can be much more proactive about some communications, messaging you quickly and securely, so you are not waiting around to hear from us!
Some examples of how we might use it:
- test results
- reminders or notifications
- letting you know we tried to call
- sending you advice at the end of a consultation
The practice name will always be in the message. Please help us to help you by keeping your mobile number up to date on our records. If you don't want us to contact you this way, please do let us know.
