Patient Partnership Week 2026

About this event

Our panel will explore whether patients’ goals, values, and preferences genuinely shape the care they receive. A patient, as well as colleagues from a Welsh Government sponsored public body, a charity, and a think tank will share real-world insights from patients, highlighting where care does and does not reflect what matters most to people, particularly for those from underrepresented groups. Discussing the realities of shared decision-making, the panel will reflect on what good looks like, where gaps remain, and what practical changes are needed to ensure care is truly shaped by patients.
