We're Improvement Cymru, the national improvement team for NHS Wales. We exist to support the system to continuously develop its capacity and capability (knowledge, structures and methods) to improve the quality and safety of health services in Wales.
We are looking for a lead to build improvement capability across NHS Wales, drawing on their expertise, but also our existing networks and links across Wales, the UK and internationally, with the ability to build and connect more.
From 1 April 2023 Improvement Cymru became part of the NHS Wales Executive. As a subsidiary brand of the NHS Wales Executive, Improvement Cymru will operate in shadow format for the first 12 months before formally joining the NHS Wales Executive in April 2024.
