Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
Solent NHS has been a long supporter of the Armed Forces Community and signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2021. In signing the Covenant, we are committed to upholding its key principles.
We support the employment of Service spouses and partners through participating in Forces Family Jobs; providing flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment.
As a major employer in the NHS in Hampshire we have many colleagues who are part of the Armed Forces community. We are building a strong internal network that provides mutual support and guidance. We value the unique experiences the families of members of our Forces have and seek to engage and involve with colleagues from that background to ensure the services we provide are “forces families” aware and address their unique needs.
We currently hold the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze award.

We are the main community and mental health provider in Portsmouth city and the main provider of community services in Southampton.

We have made a firm commitment to support the sustainability of health and care on the Isle of Wight, and we currently provide sexual health, dental and 0-19 services to the island community.
