Wales (Cymru)

The Conversation with the Public was led by the Bevan Commission, Wales’ leading independent think tank for issues related to health and social care, in collaboration with Llais and local health boards and trusts across Wales, and one event was conducted online. This aimed to engage local people in an open and honest conversation about their health and wellbeing and the future of health and social care services; setting out the current context for health and social care and drawing insight from their experiences, understanding and expectations, to help identify solutions for the future.

To achieve this, a multilayered engagement approach was designed, incorporating both in-person and survey-based data collection techniques, ensuring where possible, both richness and representation in response. Face-to-face town hall style events were conducted locally in each of the seven health board areas across Wales, engaging directly with around two-hundred citizens, whilst national level surveys were disseminated through multiple means, receiving upwards of two-thousand responses.
