Welcome to Healthcare Inspectorate Wales

We want to ensure healthcare services reflect on our inspection and assurance work and measure their own services against these findings to drive forward service improvement. We hope the findings of good practice illustrated within this case study below can be transferred between organisations, and across the wider health service to support system improvements.

Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) has issued a report (23 October 2024) following a three-day inspection at Hafan y Coed, a mental health unit at the University Hospital Llandough, run by Cardiff and the Vale University Health Board.

Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) has today published its Annual Report for 2023-2024, highlighting key findings from the regulation, inspection, and review of healthcare services across Wales. The report provides insight into the quality of care delivered to the people of Wales, and outlines areas where improvements are needed to ensure services remain safe, effective, and patient-centred.
