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.
Our trust is full of caring, compassionate, and highly capable people. Our vision is for high quality, compassionate care that makes a positive difference to our Island community – each and every day. Being part of the NHS on the Isle of Wight is a unique privilege because the people who use our services are often our friends, family, or colleagues.
The Isle of Wight is a fantastic place to live, and you can see from our NHS Staff Survey results that we have made important progress in making the Trust a great place to work too. The Island is also an excellent place to test your skills and to work in new and innovative ways.
Our strategic partnerships, integrated services and commitment to quality improvement mean that you will get many opportunities to develop and to have a positive impact for our staff and our community.
The breadth of our services and the demographics of the population presents its own unique challenges and as well as some great opportunities. We are on an improvement journey and as part of that, we are developing partnership arrangements with other organisations to ensure the future sustainability of all our services.
Thank you for thinking about being an important part of #TeamIOWNHS, I hope we get to work together in the future.
Steve Parker, Medical Director.
Our Objectives
To deliver our strategy and the improvement in services that we all want to see it is important that we set clear objectives. The 4Ps (Performance, People, Partnerships, Place) describe what our organisation wants to achieve and what success will look like for our community, staff and patients.
Our Strategic Ambitions
Having a strategy is important because it sets out where our organisation is heading, what we want to achieve, why and how we will do it. We will improve the health and wellbeing of people who use our services, our staff and our Island community. Our strategy sets out how we will work together, with our partners and with our community, to improve and join up health and care services.
Our strategy will guide how we set our priorities each year and it will help our teams to plan and take decisions. It responds to the changing needs of local people and national priorities, including the NHS Long Term Plan. For us to succeed we need to do things differently
