Working with the voluntary sector
Many hospital departments have links with voluntary organisations. Involvement varies; for some it is an exchange of information, and for others it is being far more involved in service developments.
The following organisations provide important support for the Trust and its patients and staff.
- Carers Oxfordshire
- Rosie's Rainbow Fund: Supporting children and families through sickness, disability, bereavement
- Silver Star: offering special care for mothers with medical complications in pregnancy
- Support for the Sick Newborn and their Parents (SSNAP)
Healthtalkonline
DIPEx has created a website of people's experiences of nearly 60 different illnesses and health conditions.
It is aimed at patients, their carers, family and friends, doctors, nurses and other health professionals, and based on in-depth qualitative research carried out by the Health Experiences Research Group at the University of Oxford.
