They would like to speak to people (aged over 18), who have recent experience of medical and/or surgical services as inpatients or outpatients at St Marys Hospital Isle of Wight. 

The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of all health and social care services in England and would like to hear about your experiences of St Marys Hospital. 

The subjects they would particularly like to hear about are:

  • Care at weekends and at night
  • Communication and information about treatment
  • Levels of kindness and professionalism of staff
  • Prescriptions
  • Privacy and Dignity on the wards

This will be a great opportunity for people to share their experiences, whether that's positive or negative, to celebrate good practice and improve services for the future. St Marys Hospital provides health services to the Island population of around 140,000 poeple and is responsible for acute care, ambulance services, mental health services and community services.
