🎄While most people will be enjoying Christmas with their families, many of our staff will be working alongside other health, social care and emergency service workers, to keep looking after anyone who needs us.

It has been a very busy year with lots going on for Isle of Wight Ambulance Service, so we wanted to share this short recap with you, as well as extend our thanks to everyone working over the festive period and our communities for your ongoing support.

We’d like to wish all of you a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year 🎄

Great top tips for staying well this winter from our colleagues at London Ambulance Service NHS Trust

23/12/2025

Did you see this wonderful story shared by our colleagues at Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance earlier this month?

We are really proud of our partnership with the air ambulance and it's great that Izzy is now able to bring the additional skills she has learnt back to the Island.

Critical Care Paramedic (CCP) Izzy has spent six months training and responding with our crew as part of our partnership with the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service.

Now back on the Island and continuing her work as a CCP, Izzy shared how her recent training and experiences will make a real difference to patients and families across the Isle of Wight.

Thank you to Steve and Melanie, who last month with 70 years NHS service between them, retired from the ambulance service.

Steve retired from his role as patient transport service dispatcher, having had a number of different posts in the service over the years.

Melanie retired from her role on Clinical Support Desk (CSD). Melanie was the first nurse recruited into CSD soon after the team was set up.

Thank you for your dedicated service and we wish you both well and a happy retirement.

Fantastic news 👏

🎉 We’re proud to share some fantastic news! 🎉

Our Trust has officially been re-accredited as NHS Veteran Aware, recognising our ongoing commitment to supporting the island’s Armed Forces community.

Since first becoming accredited in 2022, we’ve continued to strengthen the care we provide. This year, we submitted 500+ pieces of evidence showing how we’ve improved support for veterans and their families - from honouring veterans who pass away in hospital, to hosting cadet training days, to achieving Gold in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.
