Why Welsh voices matter in research
Health and public services are run differently in Wales. NHS Wales and the Welsh Government set their own policy, so a study about services in England does not tell a team much about how things work here. Researchers who want to get it right need to hear from people who use Welsh services.
Cardiff is the centre of that work. The Senedd and the Welsh Government are in the city, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board runs the University Hospital of Wales, and Cardiff University and two other universities carry out a lot of research. Insurance and financial services firms have a big presence in the city, and so do broadcasters, which means product and media studies too.
Remote studies are open across Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Newport, Caerphilly and the South Wales valleys. When an in-person session is planned nearby, the invitation gives the venue and timings before you decide.
