Quality Accounts

On 1st April 2012, NHS Isle of Wight became the Isle of Wight NHS Trust, therefore, the 2012 Quality Account details quality improvements that were made as a Primary Care Trust (Section 3) and sets the direction for improvements for the first year as an NHS Trust.

As an integrated organisation we continue to:

  • Place great emphasis on integrated care delivery between physical and mental healthcare and between primary, community and acute care delivery;

  • Focus on improving patient’s experiences of services as well as the outcome and safety of those services;

  • Support people to take more responsibility for their health and healthcare and place greater emphasis on shared care;

  • Increase availability of community based alternatives to hospital care, giving higher priority to keeping patients out of hospital;

  • Increase the resources we deploy in community services relative to other sectors to enable an increasing focus in helping people to stay healthy;

  • Deliver services as part of a strong clinical partnership with other provider organisations;

  • Develop active case management;

  • Focus on developing the role of clinicians as leaders – particularly by bringing improvements in quality, patient safety and delivering value as a means of improving all round performance;

  • Use more technology, information and information systems to improve quality and productivity;

  • Search harder for innovative solutions to deliver health care and seek to continuously improve;
