**Function of body**
We provide healthcare services for people across Wales, delivering high quality
and patient-led clinical care, wherever and whenever needed. With a staff
compliment numbering just under 4,000, our services include the blue light
emergency ambulance services, non-emergency patient transport service, and
the 111 service. During recent years, WAST has evolved to become one of the
most clinically advanced ambulance services in the world. While solid progress
has been made, society continues to change and the advent of the Covid-19
pandemic has accelerated the Trust’s commitment to now embarking on the
next stage of its journey as it seeks to capitalise on the lessons learned from the
pandemic.
Working with our stakeholders and partners, our ambition now is to
fundamentally change WAST’s role, acting not only as a key provider of urgent
and emergency care across Wales, but also acting as the gateway to care for
the people of Wales, harnessing the 111 service as a first port of call for those in
need of urgent clinical help, advice and treatment, both in and out of hours.
This shift will see a reduction in the number of patients taken to hospital and
an increase in care delivered at, or closer to home, by a range of specialist
practitioners with a variety of clinical skills. Overseeing the continued
development of the ambulance service and harnessing its potential to increase
its role in NHS Wales is one which presents both challenges and opportunities.
There remains much to be done to anchor and consolidate performance in the
organisation’s core 999 service in particular, working with partner health boards
to resolve structural challenges in the system, while not losing sight of the need
to radically alter the way services are provided in future if the service is to keep
pace with both growing demand and public expectation.
To help realise this ambition and accelerate the transformation of the
of backgrounds to help us to tailor our offering to our population. WAST
is particularly keen to improve the gender balance on its Board and to
attract members from different ethnic backgrounds. Especially valued is
the contribution that members can make by drawing from their own lived
experiences.
**Role description**

and culture. Led by an independent Chair and comprised of a mixture of
both Executive and Non-Executive Members, the Board has a collective
responsibility for the performance of the Trust.
