All HHFT sites are particularly busy at the moment and teams are working incredibly hard to care for everyone coming through our hospital doors. We are asking the local community for their support at this time, particularly in using the right service to get the care and advice needed. Find out about the services available here.

As of Wednesday 30 March, we have confirmed a change to our trust visiting guidance. This guidance will not impact on the arrangements in place for maternity services or for patients in receipt of palliative or end of life care. There are a number of other ways in which loved ones can keep in touch with patients, including virtual visiting. You can view the latest guidance here.

Patients in Hampshire will benefit from an ambitious new HHFT clinical strategy, launched this month. The trust's clinical strategy 2022 – 2028 will shape care over the next six years and focuses on three key themes: providing high-quality personalised and individualised care, innovating for future patients, and promoting the wellbeing of staff, patients and wider population. Read the strategy document in full here.

A recent staff survey has shown that 87% of HHFT staff feel their role makes a difference to patients, following a challenging year tackling COVID-19 and growing pressures. The survey, run annually by all NHS Trusts, invites members of staff to answer questions about what it is like to be part of the HHFT team.

On 22 March, we hosted the latest trust Health Focus event, going 'behind the screens' to discuss all things digital, from how the trust cares for patients using virtual wards, to how hospital experiences are made better for patients and staff. If you missed the event, not to worry - you can watch a full recording of the session here.
