Community hospitals

The community hospitals provide health services such as

rehabilitation, outpatients, out of hours services, first aid care

and end of life care for people living in Oxfordshire.

Where are my community hospitals?

Oxford Health NHS Foundation trust has services at the

following locations: Abingdon, Bicester, Didcot, Henley, Oxford

City, Wallingford, Wantage and Witney.

All of the hospitals provide a 24-hour service. Visiting times

differ at each of the hospitals so please contact the relevant

hospital reception for more information. All of the hospitals

provide inpatient care and some of the hospitals provide day

hospital and outpatient services.

What can I expect from my

community hospital?

People are admitted to a community hospital when they no

longer require the services of an acute hospital. Community

hospitals provide active rehabilitation and palliative care,

particularly for older people.

There are a range of health care professionals working within

the community hospitals. These include registered nurses,

healthcare assistants, speech and language therapists,

physiotherapists, occupational therapists, porters, domestic

and housekeeping staff together with administration and

clerical staff. Volunteers also provide support to the hospitals.

The community hospitals are supported by GPs and

gerontologists, who are doctors specialising in the care of

older people. They work in close liaison with other community

services such as community nurses, intermediate care,

community matrons, dieticians, and mental health services.

Our community hospital staff aim to work in partnership with

you when planning for the next stages of your care, whether

that is your discharge home or to another care setting.

Planning for your discharge will start on the first day of your

admission. Staff will agree with you a predicted date of

discharge which they will then work to. Plans for your

discharge will be agreed in partnership with you, your relatives

and carers, members of the multidisciplinary team who are

usually responsible for your care and if relevant, other

organisations such as social services.

How do I get referred to a community

hospital?

If you are living at home then you can be referred to a

community hospital by your GP. If you are already in another

NHS hospital, then you can be referred by that hospital via a

centralised team. You cannot refer yourself to a community

hospital. If you are feeling unwell you should contact your GP.
