The Bevan Commission is Wales’ leading health and care think tank

Wales’ health and care system was built for a very different era. Today, people are living longer, often with multiple long-term conditions, and expectations of care are changing fast. At the same time, new technologies, new evidence and new models of care are opening up possibilities that simply did not exist before. Our Symposium on 12th March brings together policymakers, professionals, innovators and partners from across Wales and beyond to explore what is already emerging and what could be achieved if we are prepared to think differently.

Wales is at a defining moment — and the choices we make now will shape the future of our health and care system for generations. The Bevan Commission’s 2026 manifesto, Health Matters: Creating Sustainable Health and Care in Wales, sets out the bold actions needed to build a fairer, more sustainable system that truly delivers for people. Discover the three commitments that can transform health and care and see how Wales can create a future‑ready system by acting now.

We have very limited seats remaining at our Health Matters: Your Questions cross-party event in Cardiff on February 12, where a representative of each party will share their manifesto plans addressing the future of health and care in Wales.
