Job overview
Hywel Dda University Health Board is one of seven local Health Boards in Wales, dedicated to providing health services for a population of nearly 400,000 people. Population health is at the forefront of our Healthier Mid and West Wales Strategy that helps us shape healthcare provision. We provide primary, community, mental health, and secondary care services across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, and Pembrokeshire, and work closely with our neighbouring health boards to ensure the best possible care for people who need to access more specialised services.
