Hampshire And Isle Of Wight Healthcare Nhs Foundation Trust

What Hampshire And Isle Of Wight Healthcare Nhs Foundation Trust does

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is a statutory public benefit corporation formed in 2022 through the merger of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust and Solent NHS Trust, with selected services absorbed from Sussex Partnership NHS Trust and Isle of Wight NHS Trust. The Trust delivers community, mental health, and learning disability services — including CAMHS, adult mental health crisis triage via NHS 111 option 2, primary care, health visiting, and 24/7 mental health liaison — to a population of approximately 2 million people across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight. It employs 13,000+ staff across more than 40 sites comprising community hospitals, mental health inpatient units, GP surgeries, and specialist facilities, governed by a board of directors with oversight from elected governors and the Council of Governors.

The Trust's digital infrastructure is built around three patient-facing and clinical systems: a Patient Engagement Portal (PEP) on Airmid and Elemental platforms that surfaces appointments, clinic letters, care plans, and questionnaires via NHS login; an Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (EPMA) system that issues prescriptions directly to nominated community pharmacies; and DIALOG+, an 11-question person-centred care planning tool that captures patient-reported outcomes across life domains. Integration with the NHS Federated Data Platform (Palantir Foundry), GP Connect, the NHS App, and the Care and Health Information Exchange (CHIE) positions the Trust within national NHS data and digital channels. Operational partnerships span IQVIA, NHS Resolution, the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change, and four Local Safeguarding Adults Boards (4LSAB); governance oversight is provided by CQC and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICBs. The Trust operates a charity arm, Brighterway, which raises funds for service enhancement.

The Trust's revenue model is fixed public commissioning: 100% of operating income derives from NHS England and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board service contracts under the NHS Constitution, with services free at the point of use. There is no commercial pricing, no equity instrument, and no M&A optionality — funding flows through tariff-based and block contracts determined annually by the ICB and NHS England. The Trust's most recent CQC well-led assessment rated it "Requires improvement," indicating that scale-driven consolidation has not yet translated into the operational quality uplifts expected of a Trust of this size. Strategic intent is therefore focused on digital capability maturation, CQC re-rating, and deepening integration into the national NHS digital ecosystem.
