Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest NHS organisations in Wales.   We employ approximately 14,500 staff and provide health services to a population of around 445,000 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.    We also serve a wider population across South and Mid Wales for a range of specialties.
 
We are a teaching Health Board with close links to the university sector, and together we are training the next generation of healthcare professionals, while working on research that will hopefully unlock the cures for today’s illnesses.

 

The Health Board is currently celebrating the 40th anniversary of when the Queen officially opened the the University Hospital of Wales.
