Abstract

Emma Davies and Davie Morgan from Health Education and Improvement Wales discuss the successful recommissioning of Bangor University's pre-registration midwifery programme

The Welsh Government established Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW, 2023a) on 1 October 2018, with the aim of ensuring that the people and healthcare professionals of Wales benefit from a cohesive, consistent approach to education and training, as well as workforce modernisation and planning.

The annual development of an education and training plan is one of the statutory functions of HEIW (2023b). The plans detail the training and commissioning numbers for education of the health professional workforce in Wales, together with workforce planning information. The education and training they receive is vital to the sustainability of NHS Wales and ensures the capacity and capability to drive high-quality, safe patient-, person- and community-centred care. It is continuosly shaping and developing the healthcare workforce, identified as fundamental to the quality delivery of care and achievement of the Welsh Government’s (2021a) vision for the NHS in Wales.
