Your NHS, Online: Insights from the Isle of Wight - March 8th 2026

Report - 23 April 2026

The Department of Health and Social Care has announced plans to create a new NHS online
Trust (hospital), which would provide some NHS services digitally, such as online appointments,
consultations, and support. The aim is to make it easier for people to access care and manage their health online.

This report contains the results of the survey and will be shared with Healthwatch England, and NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care as part of their consultation.

Key findings from our survey:

  • 51% of people said they would use the online hospital in the future.
  • Concerns raised about quality of the service and digital exclusion.
  • Overall, people felt online services should supplement existing care rather than replace it.
