A Happy and Healthy New Year!

From all of us at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, we wish you a happy and healthy New Year.

If you’re out celebrating New Year’s Eve, please drink responsibly and save yourself an avoidable hospital visit.

We want you to enjoy the festivities safely. End your night out safely, not at the Emergency Unit.

High levels of alcohol consumption within the night-time economy in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan contribute towards alcohol-related violence and crime, attendances at the Emergency Unit at the University Hospital Wales, and the Alcohol Treatment Centre in Cardiff city centre.

Please help us to prioritise those who urgently need care by using services appropriately.

Thank you to all our colleagues for their dedication throughout 2025 - from the everyday acts of kindness shown to patients and their families, to the significant innovations and improvements that enhance how we deliver our services.

We look forward to the initiatives, innovations, and compassionate care that will shape our future wellbeing in 2026.
