The voice of physicians in Wales

Working with our physician members, 嫩草影院 Cymru Wales is campaigning for change and improvements to health and care in Wales.

嫩草影院 Cymru Wales is the voice of physicians in Wales. We have around 1,300 members in Wales, working hospitals and the community across 30 different medical specialties to diagnose and treat millions of patients.

The 嫩草影院 chooses its UK influencing priorities in consultation with its UK membership. In Wales, we work closely with the Vice President Wales and our team of Wales regional advisers to deliver Wales-specific campaigns on these key areas, as well as additional bespoke Welsh campaigns.
