Patients across Wales will benefit from more compassionate, person-centred care delivered by an empowered nursing and midwifery workforce.

The vision centres on six interconnected themes. These include creating a valued and empowered workforce, strengthening professional leadership at every level, and embedding research and evidence into daily practice.

The vision was developed through workshops, interviews and digital surveys involving thousands of frontline staff and service users.

Tranka told the Chief Nursing Officer's Conference in Cardiff: ‘Shaped by the voices of nurses, midwives and patients, my vision sets out how the professions will lead, innovate and strive for excellence at every level of the health and care system.

‘My aim is to unite the professions, inspire change, and build a future where care is exceptional, communities thrive, and both people and the planet flourish. By committing to this vision, the professions will lead transformative change.'
