Welsh Board
The Welsh Board is focused on supporting and implementing the College's strategy in Wales. Their main objective is to promote high standards of training and practice in anaesthesia in Wales, while maintaining a cohesive and consistent approach to all aspects of College core business across the UK. With the increasingly divergent healthcare system in Wales we acknowledge and ensure active engagement with Welsh Government.
