Supporting members in Wales

In Wales, MiP supports members working throughout the country’s NHS and social care sector. Under the nation’s NHS structure, the seven health boards, the Welsh Ambulance Service and specialist care provider Velindre NHS Trust manage and deliver services directly. They are supported by national bodies such as Public Health Wales, the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership and Health Education and Improvement Wales; and overseen by the Welsh Government and bodies including the community health councils and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales.

MiP serves all the eligible employees of these organisations, including senior clinicians and executives, service managers, specialist professionals, strategists and programme managers. With the Welsh Government, we have members among those civil servants working directly on health; their peers in other fields are represented by our parent union the FDA.

Our NHS members in Wales are entitled to vote in pay consultations and ballots from our partner union UNISON, ensuring their voice is heard in collective negotiations with employers and the Welsh government.
