13 August 2010
News > Using electronic media
The new Health in Wales bilingual website provides a single point of access for those seeking information about the health of the people of Wales and information about the health and social care services provided by NHS Wales.
www.wales.nhs.uk is designed to complement NHS Direct Wales, which provides information for individuals and their dependents on personal health and heath service needs.
The website has been developed and will be supported by Public Health Wales in partnership with a web team that is part of NHS Wales Informatics Service.
Among the main objectives of the site are:
- To promote public and patient understanding of the NHS in Wales
- To signpost opportunities for public and patient involvement in the NHS in Wales
- To promote access to resources provided by different NHS organisations for varied user groups
- To provide links to trusted resources by and for the NHS in Wales
The success of the new website will depend on its usefulness in clearly signposting comprehensive, up to date and reliable links to the resources and work of all organisations and service partners of NHS Wales.
