Public Health Wales is one of the 11 organisations which makes up NHS Wales. We are the national public health agency in Wales.

We work to protect and improve health and well-being and reduce health inequalities for the people of Wales.

Openness and honesty should be at the heart of every relationship between those providing treatment and care and those experiencing it. 

In the NHS, we strive to provide high quality, safe and compassionate care to all of our service users. However, even when we do our best, people may sometimes experience harm. That’s why we have the Duty of Candour.

Our goal is to create a culture of trust and openness, so that you can feel confident in the care you receive from us.
