Our People Plan

Together we make OUH a great place to work where we all feel we belong.

Hundreds of staff working at Oxford University Hospitals took part in virtual and in-person listening events in December 2024 and January 2025 to shape our People Plan for 2025-2028.

In his foreword to the final People Plan document, Acting Chief Executive Officer Simon Crowther says:

"The OUH People Plan 2025-28 is a testament to our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment in which every member of our OneTeamOneOUH can thrive and succeed.

"Our People Plan is not just a document, it is a promise to each of you that we value your contributions and are dedicated to your professional growth, wellbeing, and better working lives.

"The dedication and hard work of our people is at the heart of everything that we do for the patients and populations that rely on our services."

In his introduction to document, Chief People Officer Terry Roberts adds:

"Our OUH People Plan 2025-28 was crafted by our people for our people, through heartfelt listening at virtual and in person events across the organisation.

"Building on the success of our People Plan 2022-25, this new Plan reflects the dynamic changes within the NHS, both locally and nationally, which present us with both challenges and opportunities.

“As we continue to work together as OneTeamOneOUH, let’s remember that each of us plays a vital role in making OUH a great place to work. Your dedication and hard work are the foundation of our success, and together we will create an environment in which everyone feels valued and empowered.”
