New befriending phone line for family, friends and carers
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust launched a new befriending phone line for carers on Wednesday 3 June.
Carers can call 01865 901012 at any time and leave their details. A befriender will call back between 11am and 12 noon, Monday to Friday.
The line is not for emergencies. It is purely to support a family member, friend or carer. The person who responds to the call will not have access to any clinical information or be able to answer questions about a patient’s care. The service is being supported by staff and volunteers from Oxford Health.
