🎉 Happy 5th birthday to Digital Health and Care Wales!

Information about the women’s health hubs and how to access them are included in a new national website dedicated to women’s health in Wales.

We contributed to the work on the new site from conception to production alongside NHS Wales Performance and Improvement, Women’s Health Research Wales at Cardiff University and other partners, with the aim to make it easier for people to find reliable, clinically verified guidance and understand what services and support are locally available to them.

As we celebrate Healthcare Science Week, we’re shining a light on the important work of Clinical Informatics Professionals at Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW).

Clinical Informatics Professionals play a vital role in improving how health and care services use data and digital technology, ensuring that the voices of the multiprofessional clinical workforce including healthcare scientists are heard to inform data and technology transformation across Wales.

Our Clinical Informatics team is made up of registered healthcare professionals from a wide range of backgrounds. By combining clinical experience with digital expertise, they help ensure that technology works for both healthcare staff and the people they care for.

Their role is to bring real clinical insight into national digital programmes – helping to design and develop systems that support safe, effective, and person-centred care across Wales.

Through professional leadership and collaboration, the team helps make sure digital health services are:

✔ Safe
✔ Ethical
✔ Efficient
✔ Timely
✔ Equitable
✔ Focused on people and their care

Within DHCW, the Clinical Informatics team includes professionals from these key areas:

• Nursing & Midwifery
• Pharmacy & Medicines
• Allied Health Professions
• Medical

By bringing these different perspectives together, they shape digital and data solutions that support healthcare professionals to improve quality and safety of care and experience for the population across Wales.

Clinical knowledge + digital innovation = better health and care for everyone.

Celebrating women shaping digital futures 💜

This week, women from across digital, data and technology came together at the Principality Stadium for DHCW's International Women's Day event, "Give to Gain: Women Shaping Digital Futures."

From inspiring keynotes to practical workshops, the day highlighted the power of collaboration, mentorship and allyship in building an inclusive digital workforce for NHS Wales.

Our speakers shared honest reflections on leadership, representation, resilience and the importance of putting people at the heart of digital transformation.

As one consistent message echoed throughout the day: when women give their skills, insight and support to one another, everyone gains.

Thank you to our speakers, everyone who attended and all those working to create a more diverse, confident and connected digital community.
