Working at Digital Health and Care Wales

Digital Health and Care Wales is a new and ambitious organisation. Created by Welsh Government, in April 2021, to lead on the digital transformation of health and care across Wales, providing digital-first service model for the 21st century. Large-scale developments that will make a significant difference to the people of Wales include expansion of the digital patient record and Wales leading the way by creating an innovative national data resource, improving the way data is collected, shared and used.

This new organisation builds on the digital architecture and national services put in place by the NHS Wales Informatics Service over the past decade and recognises the vital role of digital and data in modern care. By 2025, Digital Health and Care Wales aims to become an international exemplar for the digitisation of health and care.

Digital Health and Care Wales are proud to win the 'best place to work in IT' award at the British Computing Society’s UK IT Industry Awards.

Come and join us and share in our success.

efficiently without disruption.”

OMAME, INFORMATION GOVERNANCE

website. It’s a great place to work as I get to think outside the box.”

JON, TRANSITION AND SERVICE LEVEL MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST
