About Isle Of Wight Nhs Trust
Isle of Wight NHS Trust is the main provider of health services on the Isle of Wight.
Isle Of Wight Nhs Trust Description
Our Portfolio: The Isle of Wight’s Acute, Ambulance, Community and Mental Health services. The Trust is the only truly integrated provider health care in England.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
Ambulance Service EVO (Emergency Vehicle Operative) Richard Downer proposed to his girlfriend and she said ‘YES’!
With the kind permission of the IOW Ambulance Service and Bay Tree Florist, Richard dressed in full uniform, stopped by his girlfriend's place of work for his surprise proposal to Rachel.
... Richard said “We first met four years ago and despite challenges along the way we have overcome them and realised if we can get through critical illness, studying for a diploma and everyday life experiences then we can get through anything together. We (along with our 4 sons, family and friends) are very excited about our engagement and our future”.
