Our Hampshire Multi-Agency Stalking Partnership (MASP) has won a national award! 🏆

The Alice Ruggles Trust Awards recognised MASP in their 'Working Together' category for their outstanding collaborative approach to tackling stalking.

MASP unites professionals from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Trust, Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire & Isle of Wight, National Probation Service, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary, and Stop Domestic Abuse to address stalking through a psychologically informed approach.

Our Trust has been delivering interventions as part of MASP since 2018 and is one of only a handful of programmes of its kind dedicated to combating stalking in the UK.

Judges praised MASP’s impact, stating:
“The judges collectively agreed that the work taking place in Hampshire had led the way for many other models and projects existing around the country and therefore deserving of recognition for its significant impact.”

Our Muscoskeletal (MSK) Service recently returned to Waterlooville to host their second 'Community Better Health' day - an event which allows patients on routine waiting lists to be seen by various healthcare professionals on the same day!

Upon arrival, patients were greeted by the admin team and seated in a waiting area, where they were asked to provide details of their reason for attending, their concerns, what help they had already received, whether they have tried to manage the condition themselves, and what their expectations of what help they needed.

This information formed the conversation for their first station which was a shared decision-making station with a therapist to obtain a history and highlight which other stations on the day may be of use.

In total, there were five stations, including exercise areas where trained professionals showed patients how to combat their problems via targeted exercises.

The event saw a total of 261 patients, which in return has reduced waiting lists across Havant, Fareham and Gosport by approximately two weeks.

Meet Amber, Steve, Clare & Kat - they're taking part in the London Marathon to raise funds for our Trust charity, Brighterway! 💙

Steve, a dedicated NHS professional, has spent decades supporting healthcare in his community. After five unsuccessful ballot attempts, he has finally secured a charity place for the London Marathon - a dream come true.

Amber, the Admin Team Lead at Elmleigh Hospital, discovered her passion for running in 2020 through the NHS Couch to 5K programme. What began as a simple fitness goal has evolved into an inspiring mission to raise funds for Brighterway and support patients at Elmleigh Hospital.

Sisters Clare and Kat are no strangers to teamwork. Both Advanced Clinical Practitioners have dedicated over 15 years to supporting patients and colleagues in the NHS. Now, they are swapping scrubs for running shoes, taking on the London Marathon side by side.
