The voice of NHS leadership in Wales: Impact Report 2022/23

I really value the work of the Welsh NHS Confederation in representing the voice of NHS organisations. Because of the close and regular links through the peer groups with every health board, trust and special health authority across the country, and the fact that they are a relatively small and tight team, they have a deep understanding of the issues we face as well as the wider political context.
