  • Cardiff and Vale UHB Draft Strategic Clinical Services Plan 2019 – 2029
    Cardiff and Vale UHB Draft Strategic Clinical Services Plan 2019 – 2029 Final - Internal Engagement Winter 2019/20 1 Foreword Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest NHS organisations in the UK, providing local healthcare services for around 500,000 people in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. Working with many professional groups, we promote healthy lifestyles whilst planning and providing healthcare in people’s homes, community facilities and hospitals. We are also the main provider of over 100 specialist services for the people of South Wales, Wales and for some services, the wider UK. We are very proud of this role both as a local NHS organisation and a provider of hospital services for local, regional and national patients. This role, however, creates unique challenges for us in the way we use our resources (our staff and our buildings) to meet those local and specialist needs going forward. The demand on the services provided by the health board will increase in the short, medium and long term mainly because of population growth. An increasing proportion of that population are ageing or are very young (under 16), and both groups have a high reliance on healthcare. For these reasons alone, we cannot sit still in the way we provide our services. But add to that the increasing number of medical innovations, workforce requirements, role changes and structures and you get a degree of change that needs to be carefully planned for. We have therefore developed a draft Strategic Clinical Services Plan 2019 – 2029 which brings together a number of existing and emerging programmes of work to make us fit for the future.

    P R O P A P P E A L N E W S L E T T E R A P R I L 2 0 2 0 – M A R C H 2 0 2 1 ABOUT THE PROP APPEAL The Prop Appeal is part of Cardiff & Vale Health Charity, registered charity number, 1056544. It was launched in 2008 to raise funds to help improve the overall experience and facilities for people receiving rehabilitation at Rookwood Hospital after suffering brain injury. Following a brain injury, the road to rehabilitation can be a very long one. The time spent at Rookwood by an injured person, their family and friends can be months and in some extreme circumstances, years. The Prop Appeal raises money to ensure facilities at Rookwood are as comfortable, welcoming and stimulating as possible for people during a very traumatic period. Every penny raised goes towards making things better, and much of this fundraising is down to those who volunteer for the Prop Appeal. Sadly, due to the global pandemic, fundraising activities have slowed as events were cancelled throughout 2020/2021. However, the Prop Appeal has still had the wonderful support from its fundraisers and friends. To get involved in the Prop Appeal please email: [email protected] or call 02921 836041 WWWWWW..HHEEAALLTTHHCCHHAARRIITTYY..WWAALLEESS//PPRROOPP--AAPPPPEEAALL P R O P A P P E A L N E W S L E T T E R A P R I L 2 0 2 0 – M A R C H 2 0 2 1 A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS Virtual quiz evening - In response to COVID-19, supporter Vinaya Parvate has been fundraising, raising £1,050 by hosting a virtual quiz evening to help patients in isolation due to visitor restrictions put in place.

  • Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Foundation Programme Year 2 What Makes Cardiff So Great!
    Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Foundation Programme Year 2 What makes Cardiff so great! Cardiff is a unique city that offers all that is expected of any modern capital city, and boasts an enviable quality of life. Cardiff’s residents believe it is one of the best cities in Europe to live and work in. Compact, multicultural Cardiff dances to its own beat, with abundant cultural and historical sights, independent businesses and a friendly atmosphere. - Amy Pay, Lonely Planet Writer Cardiff is a “city of parks” with more green space per person than any other main UK city and has been described as the epitome of cool by the Lonely Planet guide. There is a vibrant night life including the hustle and bustle of St Mary Street and the relaxed restaurants and bars of Cardiff Bay. The City offers a mix of boutique stores found in the varied Victorian arcades coupled with larger department stores. Cardiff is home to world class venues and international events; the Principality Stadium is recognised across the world, the Sophia Gardens Stadium hosts international cricket including the Ashes and Cricket World Cup whilst the Wales Millennium Centre has established a worldwide reputation as an excellent arts and cultural venue. Cardiff enjoys a healthy residential market, yet the cost of housing is lower than many other parts of the UK. Schools offer a high standard of education and facilities. The UHB’s Accommodation Department will offer help and support to new trainees seeking to relocate to the City. Surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty, with the Brecon Beacons National Park, Swansea Gower Peninsula and the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan all nearby, Cardiff really does have it all.
