Dementia Strategy consultation
Isle of Wight health and social care system leaders launched the Isle of Wight Dementia Strategy in May 2022. It sets out a joint vision for improving dementia services and making the Island a place where people with a dementia can live safe and fulfilling lives.
We are now starting work to refresh the Dementia Strategy, looking at what has already been achieved and where our continued efforts are needed to continue to drive improvements in dementia care and support for local people.
We need you to tell us about your experience of dementia services to understand what has worked well and what can be done better.
We will be hosting four in-person events across the island to facilitate open discussions and gather direct feedback. These events will provide an opportunity for attendees to engage with our team, share their stories, and contribute to the future direction of our Dementia Strategy.
Events will be held as an informal discussion providing people with the opportunity to give feedback. Arrive at any time between the hours stated above.
- 22 January 2025, 10am to 1pm, The Broadway Centre, Sandown
- 30 January 2025, 1pm to 4pm, The Riverside Centre, Newport
- 05 February 2025, 1pm to 4pm, Parklands Café, Cowes
- 11 February 2025, 1pm to 4pm, West Wight Leisure Centre, Freshwater

Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment
Since April 2013 every Health and Wellbeing Board in England has a legal responsibility to publish and keep up to date a statement of the needs for pharmaceutical services of the population in its area, referred to as a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). The PNA looks at the existing provision of community pharmacy services across the Isle of Wight and whether this meets the current and future needs of the population. It can be used to make decisions in the commissioning of NHS-funded Pharmaceutical Services.
The consultation period runs from 20 January 2025 to 11:59pm 21 March 2025
Extending enforcement powers to tackle alcohol-related anti-social behaviour
The current orders are set to expire in July 2025, and the Isle of Wight Council is considering extending them for another three years, potentially until 2028.
It has launched a public consultation to gather opinions on whether the existing measures should remain unchanged or be modified.
