Research matters: our plan for improving health and care research in Wales

The draft Health and Care Research Wales Plan for 2022-2025 has been shared online in order to highlight key initiatives underway, outline future planned activities and provide the opportunity for comment prior to publication in early 2023.

The plan sets out how Health and Care Research Wales intends to build on the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic to improve all health and social care research, to drive improvements in health and social care services and to lay the foundations for better outcomes for patients, people and communities across Wales.

We would very much welcome your feedback on the draft plan. Please send your comments to HSSRD@gov.wales by 6 December.
