Emergency care: If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please continue to call 999 as normal.
Hospital appointments: Patients should continue to attend planned appointments unless contacted directly by their care team.
Non-emergency care: If you need urgent medical advice but it is not a life-threatening emergency, please continue to use NHS 111.
Contacting our services: Some email communications and online services may be affected. If your enquiry is urgent, please contact the relevant service by telephone rather than email where possible.
We are delighted to introduce our 5-year strategy ‘Working Together, Improving Together’.
In 2023, we strengthened our partnership with Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, operating as a Group with a new single executive team and working as Boards in common. In May 2024, our community, mental health, and learning disability services transferred to Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust. Isle of Wight NHS Trust became an acute and ambulance organisation, working in partnership to serve our community.
Throughout the period of change, our people have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to delivering excellent care to our island population. Our people, our partners, and our communities have informed our strategy. We have listened to what matters most to them. This input has not only affirmed the significance of our partners in our future, but also encouraged us to explore new and innovative ways of working to guarantee sustainable services for our island community.
Our 'Working Together, Improving Together' strategy sets out our objectives for the next 5 years, setting the framework for our collaboration to deliver our vision of working together to deliver excellence in care for our patients and communities.
