Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust was formed in 1994 as Bexley Community Trust. It took the name Oxleas in 1995, after the ancient Oxleas Woods between Bexley and Greenwich. It became an NHS Foundation Trust in 2006.
Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS Foundation Trust providing community health, mental health and learning disability services primarily to the London Boroughs of Bromley, Greenwich and Bexley. The trust provides additional specialist forensic psychiatric services to people from Lewisham as well as its core areas and healthcare services to prisons in Kent.
Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust headquarters are at Dartford and in-patient services are located at the campuses of Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup; Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough, Kent and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich. Forensic in-patient services are concentrated at the Bracton Centre in Dartford. Memorial Hospital is a hospital owned by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Oxleas operates several facilities including inpatient services for elderly people. There is also a large community outreach service network so that people can live at home and be helped both in their own homes, and as outpatients at various locations where Oxleas staff help their patients.
Oxleas took over the running of Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup on 1 October 2013 and is investing up to £30million to develop the facilities at the hospital.
South London Healthcare NHS Trust (the previous owners of Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup; Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich; and Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough, Kent) had a symbiotic relationship with Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust.
In 2012, the Special Administrator, Matthew Kershaw of the Department of Health, was requested by the Secretary of State for Health to investigate concerns that South London Healthcare NHS Trust was not a viable concern. After public consultation and much investigation, it was declared on 31 January 2013 that the South London Healthcare NHS Trust would be disbanded. This has led to action in the High Court.
