Background

In line with Welsh Government’s ‘A Healthier Wales’, this five-year strategy for research and innovation sets out our vision, current landscape and recommendations, specific to the Healthcare Science workforce. This document has been under development for the past 8 months, with working drafts shared with the Healthcare Science Programme Board, Healthcare Science Network, Healthcare Science Research and Innovation Group (RIG), with Health and Care Research Wales (HCRW).

To ensure this strategy fulfils its intended purpose, serving the whole Healthcare Science workforce across Wales, it is now being released for a professional consultation period. Feedback, regardless of experience level, is welcome from all Healthcare Science professionals and those from outside these professionals, working alongside us.
