There is a range of NHS services on your doorstep for which you do not need a referral from a clinician. You can refer yourself so you can see the right person at the right time.

Wellbeing Workers will focus on what matters to the individual to encourage and enable them to link in with existing support services (including online and telephone services) and develop tools to increase their ability to manage their own wellbeing. If you would like support with your mental health or wellbeing at this time and would like to access this service, you can self-refer via email or telephone.

EMAIL primarycarewellbeing@oxfordshiremind.org.uk with your full name, date of birth, phone number and registered GP practice.

PHONE: 01865 24 77 88 and request a referral to the 'Primary Care service'. 

Once your referral is received, a team member from the Oxfordshire Mind Primary Care service will attempt to contact you within 2 working days.

You can refer yourself without contacting the surgery by calling Healthshare or completing their referral form.

Phone: 01865 238108
