Welsh NHS Confederation

Our vision is for the NHS in Wales to provide a continually improving comprehensive health service that is available to all and based on clinical need not an individual’s ability to pay.

We work with our Members to be a driving force for positive change through:

• Providing administrative and infrastructure support to Executive Director Peer Groups as part of our NHS Leadership National Programme
• Giving corporate and executive support to Chairs, Vice Chairs and Chief Executives Peer Group meetings
• Building relationships and working in partnership with other organisations
• Implementing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Arts Council of Wales
• Engaging with Ministers, Members of the Senedd, key stakeholders and Government officials
• Responding to consultations, inquiries and reviews and appearing at or supporting Members to attend Senedd Committees
• Helping people understand the challenges facing the NHS in Wales and the need for change
• Sharing good practice from across Wales and the rest of the world
• Building relationships with the media and communication teams across the NHS in Wales
• Bringing together organisations with an interest in improving the health and wellbeing of the population through our Health and Wellbeing Alliance
• Organising and hosting events and meetings to bring key NHS Wales employees and stakeholders together
• Representing our Members at conferences, external events and key meetings
• Producing and publishing briefing documents and reports to help inform and shape debate
• Working with colleagues in the wider NHS Confederation to share learning, good practice and policy thinking
