NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight

Maternity services across Hampshire & Isle of Wight have been awarded stage 2 accreditation from UNICEF’s Baby Friendly Initiative.

The accreditation shows how hard the teams have worked to care for mothers, families and parents, particularly in the first few days and weeks. 🤱

1/3. 81% of health and care staff in Hampshire and Isle of Wight have completed the Oliver McGowan e-learning module and 11% have attended an Oliver McGowan tier 1 webinar, helping ensure that people with a learning disability or autism receive the right care for them.

During collective action, practices are still required to be open during core hours, Monday to Friday, so please continue to attend as planned unless contacted to reschedule.

It's going to be a hot one! ☀️

Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, use sun cream and check in on any elderly or vulnerable friends and relatives during the hot weather this week.

This July we saw the first cohort of 17 Occupational Therapists graduate and start working across the system 🎉
