About Us
Lighthouse Medical Limited
A not-for-profit Community Benefit Society, based on the beautiful Isle of Wight.
Independent healthcare for the Isle of Wight community
The Lighthouse Clinic is an independent healthcare hub in Newport, Isle of Wight, providing accessible, high-quality care in a calm and welcoming environment.
Operated by The Lighthouse Medical CBS, we deliver NHS dermatology services alongside selected private treatments and community healthcare services.
Since 2008, Lighthouse Medical has worked with local healthcare organisations, GP practices, and NHS partners to support Primary Care across the Island. Today, we continue to provide the Isle of Wight Integrated Dermatology Service and NHS Health Checks both at our clinic and through community outreach locations.
As a charitable Community Benefit Society, any surplus is reinvested into local healthcare services and education to support the Isle of Wight community.
