The COVID-19 pandemic posed one of the most significant challenges to the health system in Wales since the founding of the NHS: a challenge that inspired leadership, innovation, and spirit on a monumental scale across the NHS, its partners and our communities the likes of which had never been seen before.

Born out of the healthcare system in Wales, the birthplace of the NHS, the Dragon’s Heart Institute is ideally placed to grow an ecosystem of innovation, develop relationships with research and industry partners, and create world-leading services for the people of Wales and beyond.

The Dragon’s Heart Institute will be the home of innovation, excellence, leadership development and collaboration for the future of the health and care system in Wales, the UK and the world.
