Independent health and social care in Wales

Many of our members in Wales are employed in independent health and social care (IHSC).

  • Nursing agencies
  • Independent hospitals
  • General practices

As the voice of nursing, we’re committed to connecting, engaging and representing nursing staff, no matter what sector or setting you’re employed in.
