The Isle of Wight NHS Trust has announced that it has been shortlisted for awards in 3 categories at this year’s Health Service Journal Awards (HSJ).
Those awards that they have been nominated for are:
- Primary and Community Care Provider of the Year
- Provider Collaboration of the Year – Hampshire and Isle of Wight People and OD Collaborative
- HSJ Partnership Award – Clinically assessing and mitigating risk for outpatient backlogs – proactive COVID-19 recovery initiatives
Over the last 4 years, they have improved community services, improved staff wellbeing and support and implemented a range of integrated services, delivered in partnership with colleagues, 3rd sector and partner organisations, to improve services for people living in our local communities.
One example is their prehabilitation service, which is delivered face-to-face in people’s own homes and helps to avoid preventable delays to accessing surgery by assessing patients and optimising their health and wellbeing prior to a pre-assessment appointment.
Director of Operations Community Services, Nicola Longson said:
“We are so proud to have been nominated in this category, which recognises our efforts to make significant improvements for our staff and people who use our community services on the Island.
“We will continue to work with colleagues, partners and the people who use our services and their loved ones to collaboratively build sustainable services that make a real difference to those who need it most.”
They have also been shortlisted alongside our partners in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight People and OD Collaborative that has helped recruit over 1,100 new staff into the area to support health care across local communities.
Chief Operating Officer, Joe Smyth said:
“We are delighted that this important partnership with Medefer has been recognised in this way.
“The introduction of a virtual patient pathway across urology, gastroenterology and gynaecology significantly helped to reduce outpatient backlogs during the height of the pandemic. This transformative approach has meant that thousands of Isle of Wight patients have had their clinical care far sooner than would otherwise have been possible.”
Do they do a award to for how many times they can cancel appointments ?
A lot of the staff are very good, just a small minority that gives them a bad reputation. How many chief operating officers do they need though?
Sorry, but all of this ‘internal’ awards and back-slapping congratulations should be stopped!
No way does St.Mary’s deserve ‘praise’.
They prolonged the agonies and restrictions regarding masks and COVID visiting, acting like some Third Reich Police Force!
They gave an incredibly long backlog of cancelled appointments, and the only reason they can lay claim to reducing these is because they persistently farm patients out to Mainland Hospitals.
This is a FARCE!!
Guessing you have actually lived under a “Third Reich Police Force” in order to make that comparison?
Stasi, maybe?
Russian FSB?
Chinese MSS?
No?
Tell you what, why don’t you toodle off to Putin’s Russia, or China, and start making similar complaints and see what happens?
Well I’m no expert in nuclear physics but I’m still pretty sure the sun is hotter than the moon. For goodness sake what a stupid thing to say to a VERY REASONABLE comment. The continuuing restrictions at ST Marys are utterly ridiculous. And they know it or else the masks they insist you wear would be up to the job, not the 100% ineffectual virtue-signalling bits of cloth that they are.
Totally agree, although I noticed that when I had to take my mum in to hospital on Saturday the so called mask requirement was not being enforced and half the people in there, including some staff, were not wearing them. I can’t believe the gullibility of the people who actually believe that a face mask makes the slightest difference.
Can they stop giving out awards and concentrate on treating and caring for people.
Blame the managers NOT the frontline staff, all the managers care about is “financial viability” not patients wellbeing. Multi layers of management all taking the majority of the NHS budget.
Quite agree, once you actually get to the people who investigate and treat I have nothing but praise. It’s the getting there that’s the problem
The nurses all do a brilliant service and are not responsible in any way for the way the hospital operates. Unseen management behind the scenes give the orders. These are the people that should be criticised and named and shamed.
Oh look, I won us an award, I deserve another payrise said yet another parasitic manager.
FFS, this only goes to reinforce my opinion of the NHS, self congratulatory bunch of w!?&×&s
No, not the hard working nurse before all the idiots chime in, upwards of them.
Awards for 2 year waits for treatment?
‘Primary care’ if that includes access to GP surgeries, forget it. Any award in that respect would be unbelievable.
It absolutely beggars belief that our unfit for purpose NHS trust should be considered for any award at all. They are a complete shambles. No matter how many more billions are thrown at it every year, the service gets worse and worse. It is a joke.
Must be a typo .. it reads Isle of Wight NHS Trust …. The frontline staff are the heroes.. the management Are still a joke ..
