Would you like to make a positive difference and influence local health services for the benefit of local people?

Welsh Government is seeking to appoint volunteer members to Cwm Taf Morgannwg Community Health Council. Community Health Councils are the public’s independent ‘watchdog’ of the National Health Service in Wales. They represent the public interest and play an important role in influencing the way that health services are planned, delivered and improved.

Community Health Council members are volunteers and their role is to act as the eyes and ears of patients and the public, listening to their concerns and working with the health service to improve the quality of patient care.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg Community Health Council is looking for people from all walks of life – the most important requirement is a genuine interest in improving health services in your community. Some skills which would be useful include:

• An interest and understanding of local health issues;
• Being able to work in a team and with a diverse range of people;
• An ability to listen to others and exchange views.

Please note, you must be a Trustee, employee or volunteer with a third sector organisation operating in Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil or Rhondda Cynon Taf areas. Please note that all activities are undertaken virtually at present.
