Community Audiology (hearing loss) services - short survey

The team at Healthwatch Isle of Wight, in partnership with local Healthwatch teams in Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton, has been shortlisted for a national award for their work in improving the care of local people.

In January 2019, our enter and view authorised representatives visited all inpatient mental health wards at the IOW NHS Trust as part of our focused work on mental health.

This visit was arranged as part of an ongoing mental health work plan. The visit was designed to
look at experiences of people who spend time as inpatients on local mental health wards
either voluntarily or under sections of the Mental Health Act.
