New Model of Care for the Isles of Scilly

Community 1st is proud to support the transformation of health and social care on the Isles of Scilly with the opening of the new Isles of Scilly Hospital Wing and a pioneering integrated model of care.

This state-of-the-art facility, opened in July on St Mary’s, is more than just a building, it’s a partnership between NHS, social care, and community teams delivering more care closer to home. Services like Hospital at Home, expanded diagnostics, remote consultations, and mental health support are improving access and outcomes for island residents.

Early results show a nearly 30% drop in emergency medevac fly-offs to the mainland, proving the power of community-focused care.

Ken Jones, General Manager at Community 1st, said: “We’re proud to play our part in this project and to work alongside our NHS and Social Care partners and local teams to support their vision for a new neighbourhood model of care.”

With the new care home wing opening soon, the Isles of Scilly Health and Care Partnership is leading the way in integrated, digitally enabled community care.
