Integrated Medium-Term Plan

HEIW's Integrated Medium-Term Plan (IMTP) for 2025-2028 sets out our strategic priorities to develop a skilled and sustainable workforce, across Wales, that improves care and population health. It aligns with the Workforce Strategy for Health and Social Care in Wales, with a clear focus on creating a motivated, engaged and valued workforce.

What does this mean for healthcare services in Wales?

The plan sets out eight strategic priorities designed to transform the NHS Wales workforce and respond to both current and future healthcare challenges. These priorities will:

• Enhance patient care through a highly skilled workforce
• Improve timely access to treatment
• Expand use of digital healthcare technologies for more personalised care
• Strengthen preventative and community-based healthcare, helping reduce hospital admissions
• Provide staff with career development, training, and leadership pathways
• Foster a supportive, inclusive workplace to improve staff well-being and retention

Our eight strategic priorities

1. National workforce solutions that support quality and productivity
2. Workforce transformation to support preventative and place-based healthcare
3. Excellent education and training
4. Role evolution and multi-professional working
5. A digital and technology ready workforce
6. Compassionate cultures and effective leadership
7.  Future focussed workforce plans
8. Supporting the implementation of WG policy decisions
