About the Isle of Wight NHS Trust (cont’d)
Delivering Quality Services
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust is a high performing organisation and health services on the Island compare
favourably with those on the mainland – for example they are the third best in the country at keeping
people out of hospital, despite their older population profile. This is supported by their embedded
culture of integrated service delivery and a strong track record of delivery of quality and safety,
operational performance and financial targets.
The Trust strive to improve on their good track record of patient safety and patient experience, including
reducing the incidence of healthcare associated infections.
Awards and Recognition
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust believes that it is important that staff and volunteers, teams and
individuals, are recognised on a regular basis for excellence in the delivery and development of Trust
services and for improving services for patients and carers.
