How was your same day urgent care?
In autumn last year we visited same day urgent care units across Wales to find out about people's experiences of emergency care.
People across Wales shared their experiences, highlighting serious gaps in care.
We produced a report and shared what people told us with Welsh Government and Health Boards.
We asked what they were doing to improve the situation. They told us about lots of work being done to make accessing and using same day urgent care better.
Between 20th October and 17th November, we are revisiting same day urgent care units to see how people are experiencing emergency care a year on.
We want to know if the changes made are leading to better care for people or if there is still more to be done.
When completing the online survey, users can toggle to Welsh should they wish to complete the survey through the medium of Welsh.

Good afternoon all,
Launch of the Llais National Project – The Health and Social Care We Want.
The Health and Social Care We Want | Llais
Too few people know their rights, what they can reasonably expect from services, or how they can play their own part in staying well and that is why Llais is leading The Health and Social Care We Want: a national conversation about creating clearer, fairer and more person-centred services.
Our Aim
We want to make it easier for people to:
- Know and understand their rights
- Know what to expect from health and social care services
- Know the part they have to play in their own health and care
At the same time, we want to support services to better meet people’s needs by listening to real experiences and using what they hear to make things better. It’s about building trust, reducing confusion and creating services that work for everyone.
How you can help
Your support is important in helping us reach communities, gathering views and understanding what’s working, what’s not, and what matters most.
You can get involved in a number of ways, including:
- Completing our We Want survey (The health and social care we want)
- Attend a Llais event
- Contact us directly: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
We would greatly appreciate if you could share on your channels – and any of your partner channels!
We Want: Open online session
12:00-13:00 - 7th August 2025
An interactive online session for people and organisations across Wales who want to discuss the health and social care systems we want. This session will provide an overview of the project, as well as providing you with the tools to have meaningful conversations to inform the project and help people to 'have their say'. (The Health and Social Care We Want - Online Session - 7th August 2025 | Llais)
We Want: Learning disabilities
10:00-11:00 - 20th August 2025
In this session we invite people with learning disabilities and the people and organisations who support them to join us for a look at our project. In this session we will look at how our engagement activities and tools can be adapted to help people with learning disabilities take part and have their say on what they would like health and social care to look like in the future, and to share their stories of using and accessing health and social care services in the past. (The Health and Social Care We Want - Online Session - 20th August 2025 | Llais)
We Want: Women's health
11:00-12:00 - 27th August 2025
We know that women's health issues are more likely to be dismissed or misdiagnosed and therefore, we wanted to hold a dedicated women's health session to create space for such health inequalities to be discussed and represented within our project. If you are interested in women's health or an organisation supporting women, then this session will give you an overview of what our project aims to achieve and how you can engage women in meaningful conversations about health and social care so that their voices can be represented within our project findings. (The Health and Social Care We Want - Online Session - 27th August 2025 | Llais)
We Want: Unpaid carers
10:30-11:30 - 3rd September 2025
We know that carers face poorer health outcomes including increased levels of stress and low mood and unreliable social care services, and that is why we want to make sure that their voices are represented in our project. We are conscious that carers may face restrictions on when they are able to engage with us that fit around their caring responsibilities. We are holding a dedicated online session to provide a remote opportunity for carers to connect with us and to find out how they can have their say on the future of health and social care across Wales. We also want to connect with organisations that work closely with carers to share our self-facilitation guide as a tool for them to be able to engage carers in meaningful conversation about health and social care, and to feedback their contributions to us. (The Health and Social Care We Want - Online Session - 3rd September 2025 | Llais)
We Want: Children & young people
17:00-18:00 - 10th September 2025
In this session we invite children and young people and the organisations who support them to join us for a look at our project. In this session we will look at how our engagement activities and tools can be adapted to help children and young people take part and have their say on what health and social care means to them, and what they would like health and social care to look like in the future. (The Health and Social Care We Want - Online Session - 10th September 2025 | Llais)”

Hello Neighbours,
The latest edition of our monthly newsletter is here.
There's a trend in the summer for specific types of crime to increase, often thanks to the warmer weather. That may come as a surprise, but opportunist criminals will take advantage our desire to get out, relax or travel. This August, find out what the risks are and how you can protect yourself whether at home, or away.
As always, this issue also has a host local news and special offers too. We hope you enjoy reading it.
P.S. Don't forget to share with your neighbours or to pass on any advice that might help someone you know.

Good Afternoon
I would like to invite you to take a look at our street safe reporting tool.
The purpose behind the tool is to be able to anonymously report issues or concerns that make you feel unsafe in the area that you live.
Examples of this could be poor lighting, lack of safe walking routes or the routes that make your journey feel unsafe, littering or graffiti along with other locations that you actively avoid for other reason known to you.
The purpose of this tool allows us to record these concerns and share them with our partners such as the council to then take action to rectify those issues.
The reports you make will help us to focus not only our efforts but the efforts of our partners in these areas to try to make the area you live in feel safer.
Please follow the link below
https://www.south-wales.police.uk/notices/street-safe/street-safe/
thank you for you time and please do not hesitate to message through South Wales Listens to contact me or my team for other concerns you would like to us to know about or speak about.
Kind Regards
