This briefing is the first in a series of publications that aims to showcase just some of the ways that NHS organisations in Wales are working with charities, private enterprise, volunteers, community groups and others to deliver and transform key services to respond to COVID-19.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has meant that the health and social care system across Wales is facing its biggest challenge for generations. Staff are working right across the system, from intensive care units (ICUs), GP practices, ambulance services, mental health support services and social care services are stepping up to meet the needs of the people of Wales in an increasingly challenging and stressful environment. Partnership working and collaboration are no longer aspirational goals, they are a necessity if the NHS is to rise to the challenge of providing care and support the people of Wales at this time.
