This seminar was scheduled as the Welsh Government embarked on a set of wide-ranging reforms that improved outcomes and efficiency, as outlined in the Together for Health 5-year plan for NHS Wales (released in November 2011), during a period of reduced public spending.
The seminar brought together key policymakers and stakeholders to discuss the overall health strategy for Wales, including increased collaboration between services and development of specialist treatment centres, as well as the proposed changes to primary care, including extended access to GP surgeries and the increased role for community pharmacies. Plans to improve public health including possible extensions to the smoking legislation, drives to improve nutrition and increase sports participation were also a focus, as Local Health Boards began to implement their 2012-13 Strategies for Public Health.
