At Llais, we believe everyone's experiences matter.

We know that people from different communities can experience health and social care services in different ways. That's why it's so important that we hear from people from all backgrounds and communities across Wales.

Have you, a family member, or someone you care for had an experience of health or social care you'd like to share?

Whether it's something that worked well or something that could be improved, your experience can help us speak up for people and influence positive change.

When more voices are heard, services can better reflect the needs of everyone in Wales.

💬 We'd love to hear from you!

🎲 Did you know play can help children cope with illness, treatment and difficult experiences?

In the latest episode of The Health and Social Care We Want podcast, Alyson Thomas speaks to Marianne Mannello from Play Wales about why play is a vital part of children's health, wellbeing and recovery.

They discuss how play helps children feel less anxious, build resilience and have a stronger voice in their care, as well as exciting new developments through the Play Well in Wales project.

✨ Since recording this episode, Play Wales and Starlight UK have begun implementing the Play Well in Wales project. Running over two years, the project aims to support a strategic approach to play in healthcare settings across Wales, embedding the Play Well Toolkit within NHS trusts, supporting families and strengthening play-based approaches in children's healthcare.
