Description

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest NHS organisations in Europe. We employ approximately 14,500 staff, and spend around £1.4 billion every year on providing health and wellbeing services to a population of around 472,400 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. We also serve a wider population across South and Mid Wales for a range of specialties.

Our vision is to create a community where your healthy life chance does not depend on who you are or where you live.

We are a teaching Health Board with close links to the university sector, and together we are training the next generation of healthcare professionals, while working on research that will hopefully unlock the cures for today’s illnesses.

Our Services

Primary and community based services: GP practices, Dentists, Pharmacy and Optometry and a host of community led therapy services via community health teams.
Acute services through our two main University Hospitals and Children’s Hospital: providing a broad range of medical and surgical treatments and interventions.
Public Health: we support the communities of Cardiff and Vale with a range of public health and preventative health advice and guidance.
Tertiary centre: we also serve a wider population across Wales and often the UK with specialist treatment and complex services such as neuro-surgery and cardiac services.
