About us

The Isle of Wight Trust recognises that organisations are stronger when they work together. Mental Health and Learning Disability services across both organisations have established a strategic partnership underpinned by a Memorandum of Understanding. In the first year, the partnership focussed on development of a clinical strategy for MH&LD services in the IOW, and the focus is now on implementation of that strategy and delivering a comprehensive programme of transformation that touches all aspects of MH&LD services on the IOW.

The Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust are working to develop and have formed a formal partnership. As part of this development, it is envisaged that rotational job opportunities will become available in the near future, further enhancing leadership and other areas of career development.
