The paediatric team at St Mary's Hospital has thanked a 13-year-old boy who cycled across the Isle of Wight to raise thousands of pounds for children’s services.

A motorcyclist has been taken to St Mary’s Hospital with a serious leg injury following a crash on Forest Road in the past hour.

The expansion follows a successful £6.2 million funding bid and will see the creation of a dedicated, state-of-the-art breast care facility within the centre.

Early results show the service is already making a real difference for young Islanders and their families.

The Isle of Wight’s hospital will get a new eight-bed ward to support surgery recovery.

The main entrance at St Mary’s Hospital will be getting a facelift from Saturday 6 September.
