Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare Trust is now live
We’re delighted to let you know that as of 1st October 2024, we have officially and legally become the new Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
This brings together Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust and Solent NHS Trust, as well as the community, mental health and learning disability services previously provided by Isle of Wight NHS Trust, and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services previously provided in Hampshire by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
Bringing these services together into one organisation enables the new Trust to deliver benefits to patients including improving access to care, reducing duplication and resolving unnecessary differences in practice and outcomes in order to provide the best care for people living in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
“This is an exciting day for the NHS in Hampshire and Isle of Wight and the culmination of many years of hard work. Taking the best from all of the organisations involved provides a stronger foundation from which to deliver better, more joined up care for local people, wherever they live.”
Ron Shields, Chief Executive of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
