Clinical services and Divisions
The clinical services at the Oxford University Hospitals are grouped into Divisions. Each Division is headed by a Divisional Director, a practising clinician who is supported by a Divisional Nurse and General Manager.
The Divisions are responsible for the day-to-day management and delivery of services within their areas in line with Trust strategies, policies and procedures.
The Divisions include Directorates, each of which contain clinical service units covering specific areas of services. Directorates are led by Clinical Directors and supported by Operational Service Managers, Matrons and other relevant experts. The Directorates include those with services on one or more sites, such as surgery and women's services, and those which are based on a single site, such as cardiac services and neurosciences.
