The Research and Development (R&D) Dept. supports the development of high quality research within the Health Board and ensures it is conducted and managed to a high scientific and ethical standard.

The R&D Dept. receives funding from Health and Care Research Wales to build capacity and capability to support high quality research and to maximise impact.
