We are pleased to announce the publication of our 2022/23 Annual Report which highlights our latest achievements in improving health and social care for the people of Wales.
During 2022-23, we considered more than 150 new topic referrals and published 10 new HTW guidance documents, as well as 71 Topic Exploration Reports.
Other highlights include celebrating our five-year anniversary and the publication of our pilot adoption audit report.
We were also proud to announce that we have been appointed a Collaborating Partner of the Health and Care Research Wales Evidence Centre which will be carrying out vital research into health and social care challenges in Wales.
In 2022/23 we published our Five-Year Review which concluded that HTW has achieved bold growth and is a valued part of the innovation landscape in Wales.
HTW will continue to support ambitious plans to drive the development and adoption of innovative health and care solutions in Wales and will play a key role in the Innovation Strategy for Wales.
Professor Peter Groves, Chairman of Health Technology Wales said: “I am delighted with the achievements of HTW over the past year which are summarised in this Annual Report. The impact of the work of HTW continues to grow and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners across the health and social care sectors for their continued support and collaboration. We hope that you enjoy reading this annual report and we look forward to continuing to work with you on our journey to improve the health and lives of the people of Wales.”
HTW Director Dr Susan Myles, added: “I am very proud of what we achieved as an organisation in 2022/23 as we continue to expand the scope of our work, develop new partnerships and evolve to meet the changing needs of the health and social care sectors.”
HTW will continue to support ambitious plans to drive the development and adoption of innovative health and care solutions in Wales and will play a key role in the Innovation Strategy for Wales.
Looking ahead it will focus on identifying topics for appraisal which address the six Ministerial Priorities announced by Judith Paget CBE, Director General of Health and Social Services and Chief Executive of NHS Wales.
