Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust was formed in 1994 as Bexley Community Trust and have grown to become more specialised and widespread. We have been providing mental health and adult learning disability services in both Bexley and Greenwich since 1995 and, in 1997, we took over mental health services in Bromley. We took the name Oxleas in 1995, after the ancient Oxleas Woods which borders Bexley and Greenwich and continues to be a central point to the areas we provide care in.
In 2001, we began providing child and adolescent mental health services across the three boroughs. Our specialist forensic mental health services have also grown and we now provide services at HMP Belmarsh.
We became a foundation trust in May 2006, following several years as a high-performing NHS trust. We were one of the first mental health trusts in the country to benefit from the greater local accountability and financial freedom offered by foundation trust status granted under the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003.
In 2007 we began providing adult learning disability services in Bromley which means that we are now the main provider of mental health and learning disability services across the boroughs of Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich.
