Our structure

The Trust is managed via the Board who are responsible for performance and provide the strategic direction to ensure we deliver high quality, safe services.

The Board is made up of: 

  • Executive Directors - responsible in their executive role for managing the organisation and, as board members, for the leadership and direction of the Trust.
  • Non-Executive Directors who do not have a managerial role but are responsible for challenging the Executive Directors in decision-making and on the Trust’s strategy.

Collectively they are responsible for our overall performance and our plans for the future.

We also have a Council of Governors comprising elected staff and public Governors, as well as appointed Governors. Our Governors represent the views of Foundation Trust Members drawn from our local population. Governors help the Trust make decisions about our services and hold our Non-Executive Directors to account.

Our clinical services

Please note, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was formed in 2024 when Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, Solent NHS Trust and some services from Isle of Wight NHS Foundation Trust and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust merged to form a new organisation. 

The structure (i.e. the way in which our services are managed) for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare is still in development and will be published as it becomes available. For now, our services will continue to follow the structure of our legacy organisations.

Legacy Solent NHS Trust services are currently grouped into eight service lines:
