On the 18th January this year, I announced a £281.98m investment package to support education and training programmes for healthcare professionals in Wales.
Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) take the leading role in the education, training, development, and shaping of the healthcare workforce in Wales, in order to ensure high-quality care for the people of Wales. You can find the fourth HEIW Annual NHS Education and Training Plan for 23/24 here: heiw.nhs.wales/files/heiw-etp-2023-24/ which provides a breakdown of the training places for all specialities.
