We are working to ensure that children on the Isle of Wight are supported to get the best start in life that will lead to good health and wellbeing. This will provide the foundation to ensure they are able to achieve the best opportunities and keep as healthy and well as possible throughout their lives.
We want to ensure that families, individuals and communities are thriving and resilient with access to good jobs, affordable housing, leisure activities, lifelong training, education and learning, health and care services are are able to enjoy the place in which they live.
We want to ensure that people on the Isle of Wight are able to live independently in their own homes with appropriate care support. We want to make sure older residents are supported to play an active role in their communities and supported to maintain and develop their social and community networks.
My Life a Full Life is a new way of working across our health and care system – our new care model - on the Isle of Wight, that will enable us to manage our current and future challenges ensuring safe, sustainable, quality care and health improvements for all. A system in which health and care services will work together in a more coordinated, effective and efficient way, delivering more care at home and in the local community, to enable people to manage their health more easily and live their lives to the full.
Our care model puts people right at the centre, enabling them to make informed decisions and take control over their health, wellbeing and care.
It makes the most of more immediate sources of support available around them; starting with things that they are able to do themselves to have more control over their health and wellbeing, the support they can tap into from family or friends or within their local neighbourhood/community.
It means that people will need to rely much less on statutory services like GPs, social services, hospital care but that, when they need them, they have easier, more coordinated access to those services, with everyone working together to provide support.
